One of the common problems with the Audi R8 is the Magnetic Ride shocks leaking prematurely with mileages as low as 7,000 miles. The replacement cost from the dealership is exorbitantly priced at approximately $1800 each. Instead of replacing one - or the entire set and deal with imminent failure again - the best and most logical solutions is to upgrade the entire suspension with a high performance coilover suspension kit such as our GMG/JRZ RS Pro.
