Unhappy to report the right front air spring is leaking and no replacement available, these came with a 3 year warranty from AutoHausAZ.
I suspect the connector at the air spring itself as it was busted off in shipping.
I had to re read this to reseal the connection and recharge the system later this week.

Tempted to change pump next for good measure. (btw is it possible to replace pump / value block without losing all air in the system if I dont have n2 readily available?)
right front shock is leaking.

Can you get your money back.

Just to let everyone know, looks like Genuine Porsche air shocks are once again available.

Yes, I can get a refund do you have the part numbers for the Porsche/ATE units?
I just sent out a request to Gaudin in LV.

I may have to order one and take a look at it.

Tried looking for a 2017 version of the 958 RF, also unavailable. 958-358-040-22

Where did you see they were available not really looking to build these from 7 parts.

I sold my cores.

Local dealer ordered a RF for me today which should be in by Friday. 2012 CTT. Why is it always the RF that leaks?

Hell yea, you did a workaround. They are available!Can you post up a pic of all the parts when you receive them? Wishing you total success!

If you need to borrow some tools, let me know. The valve to get air inside the shock. The socket for the top of the strut, Nitrogen Grade 5 and regulator. I'm crippled for months so I not working for about 9 to 12 months. Launch Diagnostic Machine.

Ed thanks for the offer let me see if I need anything have been through this once before. However I have not built them from parts.
Can you post a pic of the special socket and and valve to inflate the strut/spring? Those I may need to borrow or order.

Not sure it's actually possible to assemble yourself due to wire harness design.
