Penske 8300 vs Ohlins TTX36
An excellent post by Jon Caserta from another forum I'm on that revolves heavily around high end setups for those that are curious.
These are the entry level dampers for the respective brands. Quote:

why no damper-only support T.T
it seems stock-class FRS's are limited in terms of product avilability... seems to be koni-n-forgetaboutit thanks for the post Mike.

Where does the JRZ RS product that your shop sells fit into this ranking?

Cool post!
I pick up the phone and talk to Ohlins all the time? Didn't know that was a thing that was hard to do. Not sure if it's different for customers. Quote:

It's from Penske, but it may have been specific to us... I'll use the same line and say it may have been different for end users.

The RS is a double adjustable twin-tube, without external reservoirs. For all 3 setups, you're generally best off going with the setup your chosen shop is most comfortable/familiar with. |

Although I will have to confess that new dampers are not currently within my budget. I would just like to know what I need to put together in terms of monies before I can get my hands on a set if penskes. also to get a better idea what the difference is to other (lesser) options. |

I started off with Anze in developing a Penske 8300 setup for the BRZ but ended up switching to MCS instead, as it was cheaper and they had already done the homework. Anze did a lot of testing with the stock stuff and took all the appropriate measurements, but never produced a set afaik.
The Penske stuff is super customizable by the end user and has things like double digressive pistons available now, but the stuff isn't cheap and unfortunately the front strut ends up being more of a one-off using Penske internals than a true Penske shock. A full Penske 8300 setup I would budget at least $6K and that doesn't include the springs and top hats. There are other high end options like MCS and the company making the shocks for the stout racing race car, JRi. Last edited by xwd; 09-10-2013 at 07:36 PM. |
