shock now have? If I am not mistaken the old shock had 5 inches.

Since we have the same front sub...show me some pics. Did you change the stroke up front as well? Why did you invert the shock up there?

Can't wait to hear the results/impressions.

Very nice... it's about time you caught up with the Jones's

The best thing that I can say about the Penske's is that their customer service and preparation is off the chart. I've had the OLC's shocks revalved twice, rebodied once (shorter body allowing for longer travel), and emergency repaired once (be broke an AN fitting at RTTC just before OLoA). Say what you want about the up front cost - these should be the last set of shocks you ever need to buy.

More like keeping the Jones's from catching up with me.

Oh, Penske wants to revalve your shocks since you are full soft and put where you are now in the middle. We ended up removing the rear bar..

Very happy with Penske and thier crew..and the guys at Global West.

Lets just say that this biatch sticks...

James,
Mary and I Learned some things about tuning shocks. We'll try some out on OLC when we get a chance.

Looking forward to it even though I have a feeling that this "gift" somehow winds up with me trying to get 4 shocks removed, revalved, and reinstalled in the two weeks between the Silver State Classic and the NorCal event in Reno...

... regardless... gifts are always appreciated

and now you know why I have loved the Penske's from day one!

We inverted it just to make getting to the adjustments even easier.. now the remote canister is off the "top" and right there in the engine bay.

Went with a 15.5" front 8300RM but remember I have the 1.25" drop spindle so your results will vary.

We have TONS of travel.. in fact the shocks are so good we ditched the rear bar today.. let's just say Penny is much much faster on the autocross now.. Yea to Penske and Global West
