Far North Racing Koni Shocks One of the big problems with the 2G DSM is that the shock fitment it uses is specific to the 2G and no other vehicle. Accordingly, you don't have much choice when it comes to sourcing off-the-shelf aftermarket shocks. You either build your own custom stuff or you buy Koni Yellows.

Shocks where the force curves will vary wildly shock-to-shock with the same part number == crap. The shocks should be fade resistant enough to survive AT LEAST my dyno sweep.

Shock Buyer's Guide - Far North Racing
http://www.farnorthracing.com/autocross_secrets18.html
The hardest part of getting race shocks onto production based cars is fitment. Real Race Shocks mount with a standardized 1/2" heim joint, so that aside from body and shaft length, race shocks are all interchangeable. The OEMs, however, seem to change shock mounting methods and dimensions willy-nilly, so the trick for a production-based-car ...
