    Default Penske Shocks

    Who's the best guy to re-valve and probably dyno Penskes for a freshen-up and motion-ratio change? I know Stimola was The Man. Who follows in his footsteps?

    Thanks,

    Chris

    I have been using Lindstrand Motorsports with good results. Chris at the shock shop has also done a lot of good work.

    I use Pete at RaceCo. He's great.

    You can reach him at speedy7223@hotmail.com

    Cheers,

    Why would you not send them back to Penske for a freshen? Ask for Geoff Miller 610-375-6180. They are reasonable and who would know more about Penske's?

    Good point. Send them to the factory or a factory authorized dealer/service center.

    RaceCo is one of those. Pete's been through Ohlin's training and RaceCo is a certified dealer and service center (not sure of the formal wording, but you get the drift). And while I don't think he's officially at the same level with Penske (I could be mistaken) he will let you know if he can't handle the task.

    Odds are, he can do it - in addition to servicing my Penske shocks he does them for about everyone else out here, too (DSR, Porsche, etc.).

    By the way, I have no affiliation with RaceCo. I am just a happy customer.

    Angelo at ANZE hands down. (516) 671-3960. You won't be disappointed. He is away at PRI this week but you can reach him on his cell if you'd like. PM me if you want the number.

    Default Douglas Brenner has done all my shocks -

    He has done a wide variety of racers I know on the west coast. And all the drivers are at the pointy end of the grid.

    He has been honest and informative and spends the time to educate the people need educating.

    And fair priced.. he is in your neck of woods.. At least give him a call and you will immediatly decide if hes right for you.

    I'll throw my hat into the ring with another +1 for Chris Billings at the Shock Shop in Oregon. It transformed my Stohr DSR when he re-did my Penskes.

    4th vote of confidence for ANZE and Angelo! Send him your stuff and he'll take care of you.
    Awww, come on guys, it's so simple. Maybe you need a refresher course. Hey! It's all ball bearings nowadays.

    Default Penske Shock Rebuild

    Looking for an update on this thread from 9 years ago or so.

    Probably need to rebuild the shocks, and get some recommendations on valving.

    I used ANZE (see earlier posts) about a year ago. I’m very happy with the results and Angelo was knowledgeable, informative, and understanding with me (a relative newby to the guts of modern dampers).

    We had Guy Ankeny do ours on the Van Diemen and they were phenomenal when they came back. As a bonus, he's pretty quick to turn them around and also quite fair on pricing.
