Hey guys,
I may be sending my Penske out for a rebuild / respring at some point in the near future. I know Traxxion is a "go-to" source for this service but does anyone have any other recommendations that I may want to consider?
Thanks!

If your in the uk, brooke suspension is one to go to. Had a good chat with them over the phone before now. Very good at what they dofzrbrandon wrote:Hey guys,

Thanks Gizzard. Unfortunately, I'm over here on the other side of the pond.

Re: Shock rebuild
Not a problem. Thanks for the lead. It's actually a Penske shock and now that I think of it, I may be able to send it to them. I bought the shock used a while back and just want it gone through since I have no idea of it's history. While I'm at it, I'd like to get it sprung for my weight (have no idea what rate the current spring is). Also, I don't recall if it was Penske or Fox but one of the two (possibly both) will update the internals to the current standard. Nice little bonus.
Thanks again mate!

Re: Shock rebuild
Had a guy in wisconsin rebuild my shock. It was called Ingram Motorsports, but really it was just a guy who worked out of his garage. Took him a bit to rebuild it, and you'd have to ship it to him, but i think he did a rebuild and a beefy new line for $80.

Re: Shock rebuild
Thanks Zero. It was actually confirmed for me last night that it is indeed Penske who updates internals as part of the normal rebuild process. That said, I think I'll probably sent it to them.zero9243 wrote:Had a guy in wisconsin rebuild my shock. It was called Ingram Motorsports, but really it was just a guy who worked out of his garage.
