From this page, it looks like Showa shocks with SWIFT springs.

DOH!

Looks like a very unsafe event with corner workers and photographers right at the edge of the course, pretty much unprotected. Not sure what went wrong, looks like he was off line entering that left hander from trying to carry third gear through the crossover.

Oh, BTW... the shocks are definitely the Mugens. On the specs chart there is a little Mugen Japanese character beside each of the Mugen parts (wing, seat, intake, etc.) and it's next to the shocks also. Plus, I've seen several sets and that's them. Car looks pretty cool... I wonder what form of racing that is. Looks like autocross at higher speeds on small tracks.

Mugen's N-0 shocks are Showa units with the same finish and shape as those, but the springs are a different color.
