Penske shocks are built to be rebuilt, tuned, and raced—not just installed and forgotten. If you’re unsure where to start, use this quick chooser, then hit us up for a baseline setup.
Ideal for: club & state-level circuit, time attack, tarmac rally, hillclimb.
Why choose it: lightweight monotube architecture, consistent damping, and an upgrade path as your program grows.
Best for teams that want Penske quality and serviceability without the complexity of extra adjusters.

Ideal for: serious club through national-level circuit & sprint racing.
Why choose it: independent rebound and compression adjustment with remote/piggyback reservoir options for heat control and packaging.
The sweet spot for most race cars needing precise balance changes between sessions.

Ideal for: national/pro programs, aero cars, and teams chasing fine control.
Why choose it: advanced adjustability (separate circuits), broad valving range, and exceptional consistency over long runs.
The choice when track conditions and tyre windows demand granular control.

More knobs don’t automatically equal more lap time—they give you control when you know what to change.
One external adjuster influences overall damping (often rebound-biased).
Great for learning car balance and making confident, repeatable changes.
Separate rebound and compression adjusters.
Typical use: fix corner-entry balance with rebound, curb/kerb behaviour and platform with compression.
The most common step for circuit and sprint cars.
Independent rebound plus separate compression circuits (e.g., high- vs low-speed).
Lets you keep platform support (low-speed compression) without punishing kerbs or bumps (high-speed compression).
Best with data or driver engineering support.
Tip: change one thing at a time and record it. If you’re stuck, we can review data and driver notes.

Both increase oil volume and control gas pressure for better temperature stability and cavitation resistance. Choosing between them is usually about packaging and hose routing:
Remote reservoir
Mounts via hose away from the body—useful when space is tight around the damper.
Flexible placement for airflow and easy access to adjusters.
Consider hose protection and lock-to-lock clearance on steering/suspension.
Piggyback reservoir
Reservoir attached directly to the body—compact and tidy.
Fewer fittings/hoses = simpler install; great when there’s room beside the damper.
Check wheel/arm clearance through full travel.
We’ll help you pick the cleanest solution for your chassis and the adjuster access you want between sessions.

Getting the right hardware is step one; valving, springs, and baseline are where lap time lives.
Our process:
Intake: car specs, class rules, tyres, springs, aero, driver goals.
Baseline: recommended valving and starting clicks.
Dyno verification: we validate curves so left/right pairs match.
Track support (optional): post-session changes guided by driver feedback and data.
Rebuild & revalve service: freshen oil, seals, and update valving as your program evolves.
Typical service intervals: every season for club racing, more often for national programs or high-heat events. Turnaround is quick, with rush options by prior booking.

Are Penske shocks rebuildable and revalvable?
Yes. Every Penske unit is fully serviceable. We can revalve to suit new springs, tyres, or aero as your setup evolves.
How often should I service them?
As a rule of thumb: annually for club/state racing, or sooner if you notice performance fade, oil discolouration, or seal weep.
Do I need 3-way adjustables to be competitive?
Not necessarily. Many front-running cars win on 2-way packages. Triple-adjustables give finer control when you have the process and tools to use them.
Will these fit my car?
Most popular race platforms are covered with the correct lengths, mounts, and reservoirs. If we need a custom length or mount, we’ll advise at quoting.

Can you dyno shocks from other brands?
Yes. We can baseline and compare curves, then recommend a Penske spec if you want to switch.
Book a dyno »
What spring rates should I run?
We’ll suggest a rate window based on weight, motion ratios, aero, and tyre. If you bring data or lap targets, we can narrow it further.
