What I see? Probably a dedicated track car with Optimum_G-style response. - The initial slopes match. Minimal jacking down and consistent response during steering inputs (low frequency inputs).
- The adjusters make uniform changes across most of the meaningful shock velocities.
- Compression is slightly digressive, without fully blowing off. Good compromise that won't bottom easily or generate unnecessary driver discomfort.
- Rebound builds steadily, rather than a steep digressive response. Probably not designed for the street (but still would feel better than many coilovers).
What else should we be seeing? |
Yes those things, but with Penske you can have your shock built any way you want. They'll make you a linear rebound, regressive compression shock if you ask. Or digressive on both. Whatever. And the adjusters will be perfect.
