Oh, and the crack didn't seem to go too deep. Maybe a few mm's that I could see. It may have gone farther that I'm unable to see.

You might want to get new shocks very soon. What you have is rust created from the stress cracks. Yea it might be fine for normal driving, but some track days or hard runs on the dragon may not be a good idea till you get them replaced. If you can try to see if they go all the way thru the shock mount. If it is just surface rust then it shouldnt be to much of a big deal, but should get put high on the priority list for replacement.
