Default C3 rear shocks
Would like feedback on replacing rear shocks. What would you recommend to get a smoother ride?

My ride, and world, got significantly better when I installed 4 Bilsteins. You'll forget about the price when you feel the ride.

KYB Gas-A-Just shocks are great, and pretty inexpensive. I have them on my '67 Mustang and another set is waiting patiently to be installed on my C3.

What year car do you have? What rear spring is on it? What shocks do you have on it now?
