Those represent compression and rebound. Dampeners for drag racing are usually represented like that. If you want dampeners for the twisties then you want adjustable. Stuff like the Koni's or Tokiko Illuminas. You can change the settings after driving to tune the car better for your style of driving (more oversteer/understeer). Some of the non adjustables will work good too. Ground Control has a nice list of shocks and struts. But you can probably get them cheaper somewhere else (still, good for referance).
