Not sure if there's enough bonnet clearance for them.

as far as I know there's no reason for the lower one not to fit, driveshafts and wishbones and balljoints are the same length.

can't see why they'd hurt tyre wear, should help improve it (unless it makes you go maximumnattackmode Devil everywhere after fitting them...)

Watch out for it fouling the gearbox and making a terrible clonking noise.
