These are the fittings on your suspension that a grease gun puts the grease to lube your car.
That is a dynamite price! But, if its lowered and you need a camber kit, the price will go up.
The mechanic said he grooves the inside of the sleeve to provide a path for the grease and its proven successful. However, he charged an arm and a leg for parts, labor, and alignment. I guess I paid for past experiments/ failures.
Ha, That's what I was thinking too. How can you possible put a fitting to the inner sleeve 
It seems to me this may not offer much improvement; you're still gonna need lube on the inner sleeve area, AND, most shops aren't set up with anything more than the regular grease for their guns, so .... what's the efficacy of the wrong kind of grease going to be with these poly bushings?
IDK, maybe it'll be fine just the same, just thought I'd throw in some considerations that came to mind.

I left all of the ball-joints assembled when I did mine a couple of weeks ago. I just had the spindle and control arms on the ground hanging from the tie rod. I only did the lowers with prothane, but I don't think it would have been a problem to get the uppers, as well.
Yeah, it will be hahah. get your stances in, son lmao.

Trying to chip in on places that sell them because i also want to get these.
I bought my Stances from this sight for cheap and was pretty happy. They sell rears and fronts as well.

For the rears: http://assaultech.com/prothane/proth.../i-142524.aspx
Im not trying to promote there sight or anything, its just another place that sells these.

I just bought it for the front, my car has the "wiggles" going down the road. It tries to follow every single groove.
Red Bushings = Lubricate Often
Black Bushings = No Lubrication Needed (I put some anyway, just in case)
I believe the black is already impregnated with it.

Yeah its does the upper and lower for BOTH sides. There are two kits the front and back.
Front C-Arm Bushing Kit: 18-207-BL
Rear C-Arm Bushing Kit: 18-304-BL
Kits are only for the 92-96 SCs stated by the prothane website.
Hope this helps and good luck!

I hate saying anything negative just yet but I'm not impressed. Ive given them three weeks to drop ship one item with second day air. They didn't return my phone call today and would not pick up.
