Don't bother, the rates and linkages are different, the Storm shock is an unusual design and althoiugh you can get others to fit physically they won't work properly.

Just my 2 pennorth, others may disagree.

But a good secondhand aftermarket shock will be worth looking into if you can't spend £300+ for a new aftermarket one.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
