[QUOTE="escapefjrtist, post: 1411731, member: 238"] Penske shocks for FJRs are typically equipped with the remote reservoir (containing final compression adjustment). As Dan mentions, there's limited real-estate on the FJR for the reservoir to be integral with the shock. The rebound adjustment is at the bottom of the main body just like the OE shock. Most of the Penske FJR shocks I've worked on have a hydraulic hose with 1/8" NPT ends connecting the shock and remote reservoir. The [URL="https://www.malonespecialtyinc.com/product-category/hydraulic-tube-fittings/banjo-fittings-bolts/"]"banjo"[/URL] hose is an upgrade. Think of the ends on brake hoses - same style fittings. ~G Edit to add - inline double adjust is the 8975 series w/o the remote reservoir. Has separate compression / rebound adjustments less the extra oil capacity with remote reservoir. IMO it's a great buy. [/QUOTE]
