Fox, Elka, Pep or Works Perf. and all of their engineering and design, or is he just good at rebuilding shocks?

Santo Derisi is a Pro GNCC racer who owns and operates Derisi Racing Suspension.

He is very very good at what he does and is a great guy to deal with.

Works rebuilt mine was three week turn around. I bought a new set of take-offs so I would have no down time.

ive dealt with santo a few times and hes a really nice guy and does REALLY good work but everytime I deal with him the wait is ungodly long. If you are in a hurry id say go with GTThunder, his turnaround time for me was about 2 weeks

Santo's Company is good....I wonder if he rebuilds every single shock that comes through there. He may be a nice guy that has great employee's and knows how to run a business.

I plan to send my shocks out to GT Thunder. Is there a special way you have to do this?
