For such a light rear end, the Spit seems to need really stiff rear shocks. I had some generic cheapo monroes in the back, but they were worse than the 25-year-old original OEM shocks.
Then I got the KYB rear (and front) shocks and I am pretty happy with them. They feel extremely stiff, but they work pretty well, and are not as harsh as you would expect.
