From what I have read here and elsewhere, Billies are very stiff. I went to BOGE/SACHS turbo gas for my 744. They are stiffer than originals, not as stiff as Billies (based on posts from folks who have used both), and a WHOLE BUNCH cheaper.

WRT changing just rears, I would not. If the rears are shot, odds are the fronts are just as shot and the springs are doing the lion's share of the work. Could cause some bizzarre handling issues.
