hi i dont think it matters wat type you get. id personally get the cheapest ones. replacing the rear shocks are usually very handy provided the coil spring isnt part of the shock absorber itself. if not then firstly loosen wheel nuts on both wheels jack up both sides of rear of car high enuff to take both rear wheels of and support both sides of the car with axle stands. next go to the boot and open it. you will see a cover on both sides where the shock obsorbers do be. remove covers and nut thats underneat cover. then remove nut and bolt on other end of shock obsorber. shock absorber shoulb be ready to be removed and replaced. not shur of the set up on your car the opel corsa and nissan micra have that set up. think all cars are the same. hope this helps. p.s if coil spring is part of rear shock then you need a special tool to compress the spring.
