Default Affordable Penske shocks

As you know, I'm upgrading my shocks over the winter
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1833622

I just got this email from Gary (forum vendor hardbarusa.com) about a more economical option for those who were interested.

We can do a steel bodied (non-adjustable) Penske for $199 EACH, and the aluminum bodied version for $275. These are an emulsion shock (no separator piston) but otherwise have the same internals as the fancy adjustables but without the frills. These are very common in circle track.

Unlike anyone else that sells shocks, we include the dyno charts for each shock and let you know what the valving is.

These are perfect for the guys that for class rules, or economics cannot use coil-overs, but are upgradeable later and will accept the coils if desired later at $75 each corner for single rates Hypercos, or $200 for the dual rate Hypercos.

These are user rebuildable, 100% made in USA, genuine Penskes.

At this price, why would you consider the yellow shocks that the sellers treat you as an idiot?

They will say we revalved them, but from what to what?

Do they include before and after dyno curves?
We do.

Some guys do Auto-X, some what a street upgrade, some do mostly track use, we will valve them as the user wants and tell you what you are getting, and are on the phone if you want a change.
