Yes, but only for street use. Better pads and rotors will help, but the Akebono's are not serious performers compared to what else is available.

Same as above. Very aggressive driving or track use kills the viscous diff as it can't handle the heat, which has been true for most other cars with this type as well. Another diff option would be better.

Important only if set on keeping the OE wheels. Otherwise, upgraded wheels/tires could be purchased in a different width.

Pressure recovery (reducing rear lift)? Yes. But lower CD? Doubtful. Even if yes, then not by very much.

If you like this, then great. If you can downshift just fine without it, then it is unnecessary.

It depends on the perspective of the buyer. For some, yes. For me, no. I'd rather bargain down the strippy model and pour the saved cash into upgrades that have more to offer. I do respect other viewpoints on this as there is no one answer for all.
