Are you doing the work yourself?

Looking at the listing for the parts, it appears that the lower C/A comes with the bushings installed, but not the ball joints. Are you going to be able to press the ball joints in yourself?

Regardless, I'd recommed replacing the lower/right C/A (or just the bushings and ball joint) while you're at it. Then you're good for another 10 years/150k miles. It would stink to have to replicate some labor, and re-allign the front end in 12 months because you have a bad ball joint or bushing on that right/lower C/A.

I also replaced the tie rods on mine when I did the front end. As I recall, the parts were about the same price as an allignment, so it made sense to me to replace everything at one time.

Good luck.
