rear shocks for beetle

Hi guys

looking for some opinions on rear shocks (and front too) for a 68 beetle. It's going back together pretty stock at first, but ! may as well try to get the optimum handling ready for more power!

it's a swing arm model, and I've re-bushed the torsion bar with poly bushes, and have ordered poly gearbx mounts and bump stops.

I'm running 205/75/15 tyres on the back, so there's not a lot of room under the guards for any movement!!

what's out there, what's affordable, and what are you using?

cheers

Terry

My other car is a scooter, and it's in even more bits than my beetle. One day they will both be back together.......
