Just had mine done a couple of months ago. '97 Aero auto. I agree with Bill. After much research I opted for the Sachs units. They no longer differentiate between the Aero and CS. They are really firm. My guy at the tire shop did them in about 1 1/2 hours. I had the top strut bearing done as well. You may want to upgrade the springs while you are at it since they have to disassemble the units to replace the springs. You might be able to find used Aero springs or similar....or do what Bill suggests...buy the package. It will transform your car. Also do the bushings. The strut bearings, springs and struts all go together prior to installation. Requires a spring depressor....which any shop worth their salt has.
I purchased my struts through autopartswarehouse.com.
