Default WOW, totally unexceptable for a $3000 dollar suspension system.

So both Al and you have issues? Who else has issues with MS's?

Default I will come on the record here. Penskes are not silent either.

I think some people confuse expensive suspension with a good suspension. You should not. Penskes were developed for track duty, and that introduces some limitations... like noise and harshness. If we were to eliminate all of these, we would no longer have a race suspension. STaSIS is going that way, I will too - though as an option only.

If you want a quiet and streetable setup - get Vogtlands. Ohlins and even more Penskes are for peolle who want to live at the edge of compromise (street/track compromise).

Since you are experimenting... I have even a better idea.

2nd, i was very happy with the trade-off of a bit of noise/stiffer ride for the performance increase
