The rear bump stops on my 70 square are shagged. There seem to be many aftermarket parts available. Is one better than another for a lowered car?

The new second one is the correct one for your car, but I'd recommend seeing Grumble at the nats, used og is way better than urethane pictured IMO.

They are both incorrect for a late type 3. but the 2nd one is used on earlier type 3? I think, as that is what I have seen.

These are the right ones. Although still slightly different from stock.

and CSP list them the other way around to the early ones.
These are infact what late type 3 have and early one are like the 2nd one you posted. CSP list them the other way around lol

I got some red ones

The helper softened them up a bit

But the sledge hammer was still required to persuade them on.

They fit well and should give a little more upward travel

Any thing that is urathane and made by Empi won't last long, you are better of with a half worn out genuine part.

Yes I know. but for the price I thought I'd just see how they fit.
