I have owned both 850 and S/V 70 in older and newer series. The rear shock is really a judgment call. I hauled some beer (lots of beer) in my '98 S70 when I first bought it new and over bumps the rubber stops hit so I knew I needed mine changed. I would say if more than 80K miles, change them if you're going to do the fronts anyway. A great source is www.shox.com I bought the Bilstein Touring (TC) and am well pleased with them over the OEM and they were cheaper.
