If your car uses leaf springs then you have standard escort shocks. These have either an eyelet fitting or a bolt through fitting. Both types should be available on ebay or via a motor factors.
Alternatively, if your rear end is five linked, you will need to speak to a company such as Dampertech (recommended) or Spax.
Standard fitting was bike or imp shocks and springs. If the spring isnt damaged then Dampertech will make shocks to your spec.

Make sure they are defo leaking because I use to spray the top and bottom of the spring to stop them squeaking in dry weather they use to piss me off squeaking.

I thought I had imp ones on my B+, but they have a pin top fastening not an eye fastening, but I could be wrong. I still have them here in good condition, I've gone dampertech all round. I'm having trouble with this site today, very hit and miss, will try to post a picture of mine, soon.
