I was working with a friend about 10 years ago, who had gas tube shocks on a Coupe.

Gas shocks were too stiff. I had a set of low mileage Sears shocks for 1969 VW Type III. Straight oil shocks ... no gas. He liked them better than gas,

I also had a set of Koni adjustable oil shocks for 69 Type III. I do not remember if we tried those on Coupe or not.

Each is individually adjustable for rebound and compression rates ...

Seems these would be worth trying.
