Which would be said to be the best ?

the ohlisn has 2 way adjustability the penske 3 way .

Ive read the penske units are slightly beter quality as more built to order than ohlins and have a better valve system on them truth or BS?

advantage in my eyes penske = black Very Happy damn ima whore lol

Which ever costs less probably.

In all honesty are you going to be able to tell the difference between the two? I'm sure either will be a massive improvement over standard anyway.

Penske stuff is pretty damn good, the adjustablity only makes a difference if you're going to twiddle with it. Personally I've only used Ohlins, but as I say I've heard good things about Penske.

I read a post somewhere that said penske was alot more user friendly and easier to play with while at the track etc. But ohlins was a better shock overall but a pita to make quick adjustments.
