996 Cup Shocks - What to buy?
I have a 2002 996.2 GT3 Cup with stock Sachs shocks. One of the rears has a bad seal and a previously repaired adjuster that's not 100% as it was band-aided back together last winter to get me through the race season. It doesn't seem that parts are available to rebuild these anymore, so I'm exploring options and would like feedback. Options on my radar include JRZ RS Pro double adjustables, MCS 2 way, MCS 3 way, and Penske 7565 2 way. I've also been offered a set of old JRZ triple adjustables that are in rough shape and in need of a complete overhaul, but may be a decent option. I appreciate any input.
Background - I race the car in SCCA GT2 class in the New England Region. It is still PCA legal as well, and I'd prefer to keep the car legal for both SCCA and PCA, in case I decide to go racing with PCA in the future. I want to get a high quality set-up that's reliable, capable of being competitive, and doesn't break the bank. I don't need infinite adjustability, as I don't mess with the set-up much after I like the way the car is acting (I really only mess with compression on the current shocks). Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the offer, but I haven't been able to find anyone to rebuild the Sachs that I have on the car, so I think they may be man cave art at this point.

Yes, if you could share contact information for him that would be very helpful. As we were patching one up last winter we were unable to locate any parts, which prevented the local rebuilders from being able to do anything. I'd much prefer a rebuild on the stock equipment instead of dropping $10k+ on a set of Penskes. Thanks for your help.
