Now, he's the bad news - you can't use it with your stock leading coil unless you buy a pair of single-tower coils for just the leadings.  "Cheap" MSD coils run about $50 each; so for under $100, you got yourself a bulletproof CDI leading ignition.  To get the DIS-2 to fire properly, you need to toggle the settings to "wastespark".
On the other hand, you can basically splice the DIS-2 into the trailing coils.  You have two separate trailing coils, so there is no need for aftermarket coils in this case.  The downside?  You get very little power gains firing the CDI box into the trailings; installing the CDI box on the leadings get you the most gains...
