I tried the KYB Gas-A-Just shocks on the rear of my 245 with overload springs, and found them too harsh. I just replaced them with Bilstein Tourings, which seem to be the cure. My guess is that with standard springs (sedan or wagon), they'd be firm but not harsh. I used the same shocks on a sporty Opel sedan (Ascona) and a Rabbit years ago and was favorably impressed.

So I have a pair of almost-new shocks which I'm willing to part with for a (hopefully) reasonable price. They were on the car for about 10 weeks, maybe 1500 miles total. These are KYB P/N KG5553. I paid $40 each, but I'll sell for $40 for the pair plus actual shipping to any Brickboarder. I looked on line and found the lowest price to be about $32 each. E-mail me if you're interested.
