well that's kind of harsh.. you don't know what they have but assume it's flat out junk?

I can't imagine that you've never dissected a competitor's unit to take notes. At the end of the day it's the marginal improvement that people seem to be fuzzy on.


If I pay 10 grand for Penske shocks, is my car going to be 10 times as comfortable and corner 10 times as fast as a car on off the shelf Bilsteins or Konis? Your Daytona car gained 0.4 seconds... that's on a car that travels upwards of 200mph over a large distance. How much would that gain be on an autocross car driving a 600-800 meter setup at speeds less than 50mph?


A Bilstein is monotube.. btw...
