for the money, they come in pairs, so if you need one size for the rear and one size for the front, you end up paying a decent price and can do the whole car.......

Are there any saddles/perches on the rear end where they attach to the lower control arms? The reason that I ask is that without upper control arms, I think that the rear end will want to twist under load and without something to stop it, I think that it might just succeed...
