Who did the valving on your Penske's. Mine just about pound the fillings out of my teeth, even at the lowest compression setting.
Well, I didn't physically rebuild the shocks myself, but I spec'd the valving.Mine were just like yours before I had them rebuilt. Now its not too bad.

Care to share how you did it? Guy Ankeny says that he has an approach for making them more streetable also, without giving up anything on the auto-x course.

Here's something you might consider: With Guy's build, I always backed the rebound adjustment all the way to full soft. The rebound valving was so agressive that just this one adjustment made a HUGE impact on ride quality. If you're not doing this, do so.
Also, if you want a full thread discussing stock class shock valving, just say so. I'll get things started based on my experience and knowledge.
