Default Formula GP shocks?

Guldstrand sells a specially valved Monroe shock called a Formula GP for C3s.
Anyone have experience with these?

A 75 coupe up here has them, ride and handling is very good. I am considering putting them in as well, maybe will a composite spring.

I tried to find some detailed information on the internet about the Monroe Formula GP shocks but couldn't. They don't even mention them on the Monroe corporate web site http://www.monroe.com/monroe_products.htm
although it appears that some vehicles are factory equipped with them.

I found that Bondurant School of High Performance Driving has been using them on their Mustang GT's.
An interesting side note is that "Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Corvette Chosen as Official Vehicles of Bondurant High-Performance Driving School".
I wonder if they're ditching the Mustang?
