I am looking to fix up the back end of my stock 98mm chassis.
Currently I am running the stock Motor pod & using an older 98mm Atomic Alum DPS plate & disc. There is no springs on the disks as they simply don't fit it without binding up the system nor is there a top spring as I am unable to mount one in due to the missing front part that it would need.
What is everyone running these days? I looked around and strangely found limited options.
I like the one on my Mod class, but the parts were from someone else & I couldn't hunt them down on Atomic, EGR or Kenon.
I believe Derek has been playing with a new Tri-Damper setup.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my current Stock setup:

From what I can see you need to lift the damper plate off the chassis and get a longer damper post so you can use springs/damper grease..
I think I gave away my last longer damper posts. But I do have the following stuff. I have other tidbits & stock pieces that I can make use of as well.
I can order what ever I may need to make it work.

The spacer in the middle might be a good start to get the lift you need.
The other problem I forsee is that the damper plate design is firing you into a wiring scenario that interferes with a top shock placement.
You may want to look at a full kit from PN. It'd have all you need to get good space, fitment and able you to change wiring to get that K shock in the photo on board. I don't have a shock on all my cars but the ones that have it work well. I'll text you a photo of my best performing set up.

I've had really good luck with the Kyosho disk damper. I use it with Ruby Lube, which gives nice consistent damping along with the Kyosho oil shock, which I see you using already.
Here is my setup on my mod car:
And on my stock car:
