Have recently done this on our 03 Aero wagon. Rear shocks were completely shot. I went with the Sachs. This is a family wagon with an automatic which we don't push hard. Have been quite satisfied. Ride height, which was low, came up 1" with new shocks. Also did front. Bump stops were broken, so fortunately had already ordered replacements anyway. My wife, who typically doesn't notice anything mechanical about the car, actually commented on the improvement.
Haven't ventured into replacing the bushings yet. Have heard different reports - guess condition would depend on what type of roads you drive on. Mechanic might be able to tell by inspection whether they need to be replaced.
