I seriously considered importing a Roadholding Kit for my 9-5, but instead opted just to replace shocks/struts as needed for a lower cost - but not that much lower!
The rear top nuts are a pain to loosen (I failed and had to take them to an Indy) but it appears you got all new rubber pieces too. That means you can take a sawzall or cutting-torch and simply slice through the old shaft and rubber parts rather than having to unscrew the top nut!
Hints on top nut are: 1) heavily wire brush it first to rust all rust scale and generously soak with solvent, or 2) use an impact wrench. I don't have an impact and didn't wire brush mine before solvent soaking. Solvent alone isn't enough.
