Yes, that is true of the Penske's, but the trick is what valving to run. To get something in the ballpark takes some time and money.

We have dyno'd quite a few of the cheaper shocks, the results bring a tear to your eye and there is a definite lack of consistancy.

We have also had experience with Murray Cootes Shocks. Can highly recommend Murray, he knows his stuff.

On all our new cars we have optimised the shock location/operation to increase shock movement for a given suspension travel. The more the shock moves, the better and more reliable the control it can exhibit. So regardless of the shock brand chosen, you will get the best out of it. So if you can, this is a good area to address.
