Can you elaborate on flubbery? Remember that the torsion bars are there in place of typical car springs and they need to twist first, which isn't that easy. The shocks control the compression and recoil. Are you sure your T-bars are good and not broken...which has happened before.

You also need to identify the strut housing that the shock sits in. That will let you narrow down what shock choices you have. Suggest posting a picture of the control arm showing the strut connection. Do you see any paint color on the shock tube? Sometimes a hint as well.
