They will work with the M5 bars, but you won't need the front bushings because the kit comes with a set of Energy Suspension bushings (you need the metal bracket that goes over them as well). The rears are reinforcement kits for the mounts only, so you'll use whatever bushing either came with the bar or will fit under the OEM bushing retainer.

Right, but I already have the PF bushings. From my reading, the only negative thing I've heard about them was when their customer service was too helpful and swapped some part numbers around since they were from two different chassis codes.
Local guys use them in their AE86, Supra, MR2, WRX, RX-7, Elise, and they all love them.
But the only time I think I've seen Energy Suspension branded parts is when I type "Polyurethane bushings" into ebay. So, I would greatly prefer to use the PF bushing. I'll happily buy the ES bushing from you, since you deserve any profit from reselling them to compensate for R&D for this.
I can post some pictures of the bracket and bushings I currently have, if that'd help.

Pictures could help for sure, thanks.
The front brackets have 2 M10 nuts on the back that are spaced out by 3.25", so the brackets you have way work if they can accommodate that spacing.

That helps, thanks! It looks like the mounting holes on the brackets are too close together to line up, and the bottoms of your bushings aren't flat, so you'd have to cut them down too.

If you have a set of calipers and can get the inside edge distance in millimeters for me, that'd be awesome. Mine comes out at ~63.6mm at edge and approx 72mm at center.
When I was measuring with both hands and not trying to take a picture, it was 3.25" at the edges of the holes.
