Perform With Confidence and Be at Your Best From the Start - With S3

When you call a company to order a shock, what guarantees do you have that you’ll be competing at a high-level out-of-the-box? How do you know that increased performance will result from the use of their product? How do you know what factors will contribute to the goal of competing at a high level and staying in the hunt for race wins?

Three key elements must be focused on during the buying process to ensure success: the shock, the setup, and the support from the manufacturer. If any of these elements are not a priority, your chances of success are significantly reduced. Because these are the vital components needed to perform with confidence and be your best from the start, they are all the key elements of our Penske Racing Shocks S3 Program. Let’s dig into each element more.

The Shock

For any application, the correct hardware is mandatory to achieve success. This means the shock must:

• perform consistently in harsh environments
  
  
• be reliable
  
  
• be manufactured from the best materials
  
  
• have a high level of quality
  
  
• be user-friendly to adjust and maintain
  
  
• must be offered with multiple options to customize it 

When you buy a Penske Racing Shock, you buy a custom-built product for your specific application with certifiable quality.

 

The Setup

For as good as the hardware is, a shock will never perform to the highest levels and create value for the user if it is not set up correctly. Of equal importance to quality components, proper configuration, setup, and customization of the shock are crucial to success. This is why we take great lengths at Penske to ensure that the product is as close to perfect for the user before it even leaves our factory.

We know that in racing, time is a limited commodity. We frankly don’t see the point of having to send the shock back to the manufacturer several times to dial it in, add upgraded parts, and wait to get it set up properly. When you get a shock from Penske, it is ready to bolt-on and go, just as you need it from the start.

 

The Support

That being said, we know there is always room for improvement, and racers and enthusiasts, because of their DNA, are never good at leaving things alone or resting on their laurels. We view our customers as partners for the long haul, and we consider ourselves as their friends and support staff on their journey to suspension understanding.

We create personal relationships between our technical team and our customers, so they hear a familiar voice on the phone or see a friendly face at the race track years down the road after the initial sale. We know there are no shortcuts to success and promise those who put the time in to understand their suspension that we will be here to support them.

But don’t take our word for it; the results speak for themselves. The S3 process is proven to accelerate our customers’ performance and continues to help position them for success at all levels. From Formula One to Late Model to parking lot autocrossers, those who trust the S3 process and work with us closely have a clear advantage over the competition.
