Default Rear suspension and shock replacement advice please!

Hi all, I recently have noticed that the ride on my zt was getting a bit choppy at the back end, on checking my suspension I found the trailing arm bushes worn so replaced them.

It's better, there's less noise but I still have a knock and a bit of a 'rowing boat' feel from the rear. So I'm looking at doing the rear shocks......

I can't stretch to the dmgrs ones at the moment, £95 plus fitment is a bit much as the car is a rough old boy and is just to tide me through for the minute.

I saw some rear ones from an MG6 for £45 the pair a few days back, second hand. Or I can get Rover 75 ones that are of an acceptable standard pattern manufacturer for £42 a pair.

Would the 75 ones do? Are the comfort shocks fitted to the later ZT's similar to a 75 shock? I don't want it riding like the old B6 Audi A4 SE used to, genuinely felt sick in one of those whereas the A4 sport rode nice, is this the same sort of comparison as a 75 and ZT?
