I changed all the speakers in my ' 89 with crutchfield speaks and the
fronts are the toughest to fit in place. The hardest dimensions to fit is
the depth ! As the side of the  dashboard gets in the way.The only ones I
found that fit were a set of Kenwoods(sorry I don't remember the model
#'s).If my memory serves me there is only an inch and a 1/8 of clearence for
the depth ! And yes, it's no brainer installation.
    Yes, the rear speakers are the same,though I wanted more bass and cut
the cabinets to fit  5 1/4" speaks.If you need the model #'s pmail me and I
will look it up for you.

Good Luck,
