<<i know the fronts will fit but will the rears? >>

Depends on the years: All years, the fronts will fit, but the springs will
be a different rate than what you have, especially 20v and V6 cars from
93-95. 4000s with 20v springs ride higher in the front. Funny looking
unless that is what you are after. I suspect the V6 springs would be even
worse. Maybe you are just asking about the physical fit of the stuts
themselves. If so, yes, they will fit.

The rears will fit from 88-92. 93-95 rears, not even close to fitting.
They have a totally different design back there. The rear of the car was
redesigned to have a trunk and as a result, the struts became coil-over
shocks, and moved outboard.
