They will fit just not lower quite as much, as all the listed models have a greater kurb weight than yours. Not by much all the same.
Ie more weight compressing the springs.
I doubt you will notice the differance.

Notice much differeance in the lowered amount. Ie due to slightly less weight they may lower 25mm instead of the specified 30mm of example. As far as fittment goes all strut bearing and lower housing are the same. The springs will just be slightly stiffer.
Get my drift?
