I'm not saying at all that the design is faulty performance-wise. I'm sureDSE stuff works GREAT! I'm just saying that you cannot replace DSE shock with another brand of shock. Many suspension designers are using dropped spring pockets to allow more shock travel and hence, the use of standard length shocks that are available from multiple sources. In fact, I plan to use DSE parts on my 1974 Camaro.
