Only a small benefit, reduced stiction in the rear suspension.
If you are going to have a roll bar or cage I would suggest you connect it to the rear shock towers and go coilover. Raise the outboard pickup with 935 style spring plates, ideally raise the inboard trailing arm pickup also. The amount you move these is critical so don't guess or just use what's off the self without some guidance.
If you do not have a cage or bar I would suggest going torsion bar, and I'd suggest not going more than 23mm front torsion bars as I don't think your chassis will be stiff enough to properly use the stiffer springs. Assuming you will lower the car I would probably suggest lowering the inboard trailing arm pickup slightly in this case depending on ride height.
Either way the Boges shocks are not up to the task. You will either need to replace them or back off on the T-bar rates. If you do replace them make sure you raise the spindles on the struts up front (again assuming you lower the car).
