Default Are Hardbar Penske shocks goos for autoX?!

Hell yeah they are! I ran a NCCC autox event at Texas Motor Speedway last weekend against 80 competitors and set the fastest time by a 1/4 second on Saturday and by a 1/2 second on Sunday.

Thanks Gary. After almost a year, I'm still amazed with how well the car handles, and the range of adjustment when I want to change the balance of the car.

You would have to check with Gary. They use a two springs and a bump rubber, so kinda of hard to compare against a normal setup.
