I did the same procedure with the powerflex bushings up front. Also replaced both outer bushings on the lateral arms on each side. I used a Harbor
Freight bushing tool to get them out and did not have to remove the whole hub and get them pressed out.
I used Koni yellow shocks all around and love them.
What have you don about ride height. I is important to set the rear to factory spec on each side. These 95 springs sag all the time. Proper ride height is necessary for rear alignment. Look in the WIS for the ride height. If you don't have one I can dig up the numbers for you. I do know the Aero needs 610 mm. This is measured from the bottom of the fender opening to the lower edge of the aluminum wheel where it meets the tire.
You won't believe the difference these repairs and a good alignment will make.
