rear shocks?
 
redone the front end about a year ago and installed AST struts and replace all the bushings. A few months later I redone the rear. Same thing replaced bushings and bought HD springs (it sagged in the back) and installed OEM Monroe shocks. Which were junk. Recently pulled them off and installed a new set of shocks that I had laying around. Had no idea what they fit but they measured the same as stock. They are better but the back end is still awlfull bouncy. I cant afford the high dollar shocks. I just want to stiffen it up some. My family all piles in with me alot. They fight over who rides up front cause the back end will jokey you around. They say.

what year/model car is this?

I put Bilstein TC ("Touring") shocks on my 740 t-wagon, along with the overload springs that FCP Euro sells, and IPD swaybars. that car rode like it was on rails when it was heavily loaded, it was a bit harsh running empty. I also had 16" 'hydra' wheels on that car.
