    Difference in shocks?

    Fairly new driver switching from twin tube shocks to double adjustable gas canister shocks. What kind of difference will I notice? And will I need to change anything about driving style?

    what brand are you switching to? from a design standpoint, a mono tube shock with remote canister will react quicker and generally have more stability, so it may feel a bit stiffer. In the end it all depends on what the build is inside the shock.

        You are going to be a lot better. Just set the car up and drive it! It should maintain traction better on slick surfaces that are not smooth.

          My first night with my new Penske's, I thought it was the smoothest track we ran all year. That is until I got in the pits and heard everyone saying they hadn't seen a track that rough ina long time. I was on off-the-shelf afcos before. No more fall off, and I can drive the car way harder than before.
