Joe (owner) at Phoenix racing offered to do a custom Penske setup for me but that would be just shy of $10k. His son Andrew is 15 time SCCA champion. I've been debating if I should do that or get into the MCS and save the $3000.
After seeing what my friend went through with dealing with his MCS supplier and then the hassle he had getting the dampers rebuilt, I decided to go with a guy local to me that I also race with. He builds, rebuilds, and tunes Penskes as a side job. And many of the national champs in the region use him for suspension work. It was quite a bit more expensive but knowing I have someone I can call on a moments notice to help me out is quite reassuring.

If I were to do it again, I probably wouldn't go the 3 way route, but I would go with Penske again. If you can swing it, going with someone close to you who can make changes and dyno the dampers is worth it.
