Default Penske/Mallett valving question

I have a set of Penske/Mallett shocks. Can anyone tell me what valving they have in them ? The front has a B/D code and the rear has a B/B+ code. Thanks

Nope. Penske uses the letters to identify their valving.

Those are Penske speak for the valve stacks. See page 18 of the Penske manual downloadable here:

You also need to know what the bleed is because that determines when the stacks open and close.

Thanks, these are non ajustable 7400 or 7500 series. I think I need to have them revalved. I'd like to convert them to coilovers. Who can do that for me ?

We can do all that for you. We have a new Roherig shock dyno, and will include the graphs for all the shocks. In addition, we can provide you with our new dual rate Hyperco coil overs, or any other spring setup you desire.
