I put Koni's shocks all round on my 2003 9-5 Aero at 80k miles. Major improvement over stock. Kept the stock aero springs for a while, but noticed soft rear, and sagging with adults in back.
Just replaced springs with Abbott Racing's - WOW - what a difference, particularly on body roll an more precise steering. The ride height dropped about an inch at front, and the rears were close to the same with the stock springs. I tried first the upper Koni setting, but rear was too high and twitchy. In the shop now getting the rears adjusted to the lower height, but I expect to be fine.
Rear camber looked quite severe with the new springs, so I'll be off for an alignment as soon a I get the car back.
