On FCP site, it says to look at product plate for the correct number (26):

$400 each? Did you check the Nivomats for wear? They last a very long time, much longer than the front struts. All you need to do is measure the empty car rear bumper height, put in about 200 lbs in the rear, measure again (lower), drive around the block. Then measure one more time and see if the ride height is the same as the first measurement.

You are correct about the front struts, they are Sachs. I would be a bit leery about getting a cheap no-brand set of pre-loaded struts, the springs and bushings may not be up to snuff...
