It will be OK as long as the chosen supplier is not SACHS (i.e., 888), that would be alarming and concerning.

Supashock or MCA Suspension would however make excellent suppliers. Perhaps MCA being better, since AFAIK they are not currently involved with any teams. Choosing Supashock could be seen as favouring Erebus and Tickford who already use Supashock.

A control front upright should also be a good idea. Surely PACE can knock something up and have it out to all of the teams for 2020?

Cautious cynicism is important. It is alarming that 888 -- a competitor -- already supply some control COTF parts such as the pedal box. If they also supply sealed shocks in their capacity as Sachs distributor, that would be a bad look.

Especially as the DJR Team Penske shocks are well sorted with their custom valving (ironically of Sachs shocks but using Penske know how!), and therefore control shock valving can be perceived as a regulatory measure to remove an advantage of DJR Team Penske.
