Shocks? Shocking!
Ok so now I need to ask some thing. I need to know what stiffnes my new shocks for the rear will need to be.
Here are the stats 1975 SB T-4 engine G50 0r 915 tranny 944 trurbo trailing arms early 944 breaks Tires and rims undecided. I will most likley need some stiffer torsion bars as well. Any suggestions on torsion bar / shock combos for this ride?

Get some aftermarket coil-over dampers, that way they will be fully adjustable to your needs and you can add springs if you fing the torsion bars aren't up to the job..

It is my observation that you can go with a very stiff shock and still have a good ride. That's because a Beetle has a LOT of weight on the rear.
I found a pair of Koni Yellow Sport shocks on a 944 at the wreckers and put them on my Beetle. I set them at full soft, which is equivalent to a Koni red at mid setting. The ride is just fine.

I presume you are in the US, then I guess hte best places to find advertisers are hot rod and kit car magazines, most of them use those types of coil-overs..
Here in the UK we have quite a few different manufacturers who will sell varying specs or even custom dampers. I've used AVO, Gaz and pro-tech in the past Rich
