From info provided from the vendors, these are apparently gas charged shocks though not as stiff as KYB, etc. You may want to investigate EMPI 9600 series shocks for '65 VW, Would have to ream the link pins or add new bushings, but these are pure oil, non gas charged , with a softer ride. The spray graphite works fine but use a good spring spreader and large C clamps to deal with the rear spring.
