aftermarket struts?

Does anybody have any info on aftermarket struts for the fit? I tried to email koni (my first preference) but their email link is bad. I have been searching the internet high and low for edm or jdm struts that I can modify to fit, but I have had no luck. I am surprised kyb , tokico hts or koni doesnt already have an offering.

Sorry, but does the NA FIT use different shocks than the JDM version? If so, how is it that people are installing coilovers from the JDM market?

So I e-mailed KYB the other day and this is my response and the professional response I got.

My e-mail:
I'm wondering if you have any shocks/struts for my '07 Honda Fit Sport.
I plan to Autocross it in SCCA Solo H Stock class and I'm looking for a
set of adjustable shocks/struts that will be an improvement over stock.
I'm mostly interested in the AGX model.
Thanks

The response:
*my name here,*
We do not offer anything for the Honda fit.
Thank you,
Dan

No, they are not. According to reviews, these are no better than stock. Maybe worse.
