Hi Rick
I could be wrong on this ..........The existing (orig) shocks on my car are ,I think, gas shocks ,as they are very hard to hold compressed. This seems to help the ride.I spent a long time fiddling with the position of them(front ones) ,so that they cleared the bags ,inside of tyre etc on full height/drop/lock etc .Sorry dont know the exact fitting for your model .Ive got a 123 that Im breaking ,if you want to look/borrow shocks /measure etc if that helps. Dont know what the rear set up is on yours ,but I mounted mine rear of the trailing arm .
