Shock selection help

[tommyg29]

I just ordered the classic edelbrocks from summit for the rear.
I've got the fuel tank out and working on cleaning up and everything underneath, so I figured I'd get rid of my monroe air shocks. I think I let all the air out of them anyway to get the rear lowered to the height I want.
My suspension and wheel setup, hemi springs and torsion bars and 17s w/40 and 45 series rubber, is so stiff the car gets absolutely hammered with every little bump.
And I mean wham!
When I push down on the rear end I cant even push the car down an inch, much less get it bouncing!
So I dont know if the rear shocks will help, but they wont hurt.
Besides, now I shouldnt have to get underneath the rear for anything for awhile now. Ooops, probably just jinxed myself.

 So, what's the best shock available that still retains the look of the originals?

Wow, a plum crazy exterior with a hemi orange frame! Gotta be one of one. 
I don't know about the others but Eddie's have a rubber boot instead of steel. Definitely not original looking.

Yep, it's a one of one original   

If my purple car looked that good underneath, I'm not sure I would even mind if it were a different color.
