What's your impression so far? I spoke with Tomasz about Penskes and he said
they would noisy on the street due to the mounting - metal-to-metal w/ no rubber bushings, and thus not good for daily driving.

I'll have to check those, can't remember off hand but it's NOT the suggested setting.
The tail end "porpoised" a bit with whatever they recommend for street settings. I know I have the rears (at least) stiffer than that setting.

before Stasis MS I had the Penske 7500(no reservoir) 700/850
yes they were noisy but not that bad, it's because of the fact that like you said there are no rubber bushing. This type of suspension is "more hardcore", my mechanic who races says that he prefers the Penske over the Ohlins. The Ohlins is my 4th sets of COs, 1st I had the H&R streets (too soft) then the Stasis TS (600/700) too much poggoing... then the Penske (too hardcore) now the Ohlins (750/850)... wow what a difference, these are the right balance between comfort and sport type suspension. I'm setup at recommended factory, it's still kinda stiff but I don't feel all the little bumps and imperfections of the roads, the dampers do a great jobs. I can go softer if I want, I haven't tried yet but I will just to feel the difference. btw I have Hotchkis sway bars, rear on stiff settings.

most likely for better heat protection, at the time I still had the OEM larger battery and
I have a reservoir for the liquid-air ICs. In my situation not much room back there.
