Well let me "pile on" as well! It's an old link, but for those considering bike shocks...the more information, the better!
Three 7 owners in Orlando are using Suzuki GSX-R750 or GSX-R1000 rear shocks on the front of our cars with very good success. I'm still building my car and following similar construction techniques used by the other two guys. While I'm no expert on shocks, I can say that they work great around town in normal driving and have been excellent on the track. These specific shocks are gas/oil-damped and have easy & simple adjustments for rebound damping, spring preload as well as high-speed & low-speed compression damping.
I bought two very low mileage shocks on eBay recently for around $60 each. That's very cheap compared to what some people are spending for front shocks! I can adjust both shocks from full soft-ride to full track-ride in less than 30 seconds with a small screwdriver.
I'm using Jack's excellent front suspension kit (Kinetic Vehicles), and here are a few recebt pics:
