Converted CGT rear suspension. What rear shocks should I order?

Tony,

Thanks for replying.

I forgot to mention that the car's rear end is heavier than a normal CGT.

I have the battery relocated there, an extra full spare (besides the donut), a
fire extinguisher,  a tool box that weights easily 25 lbs and I believe the
rear axle with discs is a little heavier than the one with drums.

So, if the difference is only the damping I'll go with the 80/90.

Thanks again,

Carlos.
