I can seem to find anything specifically for my car, or is this a sort of universal thing? Any recommendations are appreciated.

Here are the stock rears: https://www.losi.com/product/rear-shock-set-complete-22s/LOS233017.html
Here are the stock fronts: https://www.losi.com/product/front-shock-set-complete-22s/LOS233016.html
The stocks are plastic
I would rather get aluminum
Shocks are kind of a universal part. Some shocks fit some don't which are probably because of bigger pivot balls or a bigger bore.
Losi has aluminum front shocks for the 22S and there is a rear set for the 22SCT which might fit, not sure.

I should have been more specific; I'm looking to upgrade my rear shocks. The aluminum 22SCT shocks are the ones I was looking at, but like you mentioned, don't know if they would fit.
I'm also going to probably get the Exotek carbon fiber shock towers as well. Thanks.

Looking at the rear 22sct shocks, it looks like the pivot ball is the same. The whole shocks looks like the same length if not a slight longer. The rear 22sct shocks should be able to fit. I would get the 22sct rear shocks and tune them for the 22S or for drag racing. If you really want plush suspension then the Traxxas GTR shocks are good. They are a much larger bore so they might rub on the shock tower or interfere with something. I have the traxxas big bore shock on my basher slash and they are probably comparable to the 22sct shocks just with those plastic preload clips instead of the screw down preload thing.
Amazon probably has some shocks that fit but I wouldn't get amazon shocks. The 22sct rear aluminum ones and the aluminum fronts for the 22s will probably be your best bet. You can always contact losi to make sure that they fit. Just by looking at the stock 22s rears and the aluminum 22sct ones they look the same length.
I got hobbypark "big bore" shocks for my basher slash 2wd. All of them leaked. :|

These are the shocks you want on a 22s if you're looking to upgrade: https://rcbombshells.com/product/no-prep-drag-shock-complete-set-aluminum-adjustablev2/
