There's a lot of discussion on this subject over in the Reatta forum: https://forums.aaca.org/topic/380092-1989-buick-reatta-rear-shocks/#comment-2382399

So which ones fit 1991 Buick Riviera I'm need them for my car

The Reatta and the Riviera share the same chassis. A good shock for the Reatta will be good for the Riviera.

Ok share the details or part#

Check out the website you were given.  Make those choices based on your needs. Only you know the ride you want and the $ you want to spend.

The issue is it seems nobody is making them currently.  There is a lot of discussion about possible workarounds, such as cutting the strut open, replacing the cartridge and then welding it back together.  Whatever you do, don't throw your old ones away -- yet...

Go to the Reatta Owners Forum at Options for replacing rear struts needed. - Reatta Owners Journal Forum - Reatta Owners Journal Forums to read all the info related the rear strut issues with the Reatta all-years and Riviera '86-'93.

The Riviera, Toronado, Eldorado and Seville all used the same rear shock/strut....they all had self leveling. 

The Reatta used the same shock/strut without the self leveling air fitting. 

I am doing some research that seems to indicate that the factory struts can be modified with new insert shocks.

I don't think this will allow for the self leveling feature.   I will post any progress I make.
