Help on questions about Struts/Shocks 850 1995

I just completed a front end brake job (doing backs next week). Wondering at 96k should I replace my front struts and rear shocks. The ride seems a bit soft and loose when I take tight turns (not on the track). It appears Bilsteins "Tour" shocks are what I want.

While doing the brakes I nosed around to get an idea of waht I need to get other than the struts/shocks themselves. Do I need any special tools for DIY (like spring compress tool, etc.) How about the spring cup? Bushings?

Looking for recommendations and any gotcha's......

Thanks
