I believe the strut top will bolt up.

The issue will be the tie-rod end not being correct, the lower control arms won't bolt up and the radius rods probably won't be correct either.

What is the outcome that your looking for? Lower + Brake upgrade?

Then just use lowered springs or convert to coil overs. And do a simple brake upgrade on your existing strut.

Rear you SHOULD be fine if you switch the strut top. But don't quote me on this. Front will be a little more complicated, but is doable.

Well, if they don't work you can probably just sell them to someone else. Always plenty of buyers for stuff like that.
