Brad,

A couple options out there that aren't Penske Custom money.

1) Spax still makes one for the spitfire, and it's likely if you called
them they could make for the car in an aluminum body, multi adjustable, but
you'd have to talk to them.
2) lesser know, but i used them on my spitfire for a lot of years...Avo
Shocks.  https://www.avouk.com/product/triumph-herald-spitfire/ reasonably
priced, adjustable and they were very good quality.  They would also do
custom work if you wanted a rod end on the bottom and top etc etc....

Brad,
I use Spax adjustables set about #5 on the 1-10 adjustment You can alter
this without taking the shock off the car. , They  adjust length with 2
threaded locking rings  That coupled with  500 lb springs , ride height set
at 4 inches from frame to ground. Thats the set up I have on the H Prod
Spitfire. Have similar set up on the vintage spitfires as well. with the
lower A arms set parallel to the ground.

I use the Spax adjustable perch shocks (they make a non adjustable set as
well, so be sure you're getting the right one). I like the "stiffness"
adjustment feature, you can make changes to the settings without  jacking
the car up, just reach under the car and twist the knob. I find I run
around  7 clicks from soft (out of ~20) and Watkins Glen and 10 on smoother
tracks like Thompson and Lime Rock. I've had one fail, after launching the
car at Pocono, and a second set just wore out after 10 years.
