I wouldn't have thought they would work well on the rear as they would over brake the rears. Also you wouldn't be able to use the handbrake.

Best upgrade for a 2wd is to fit 4wd brakes as these are same diameter but vented discs with a wider caliper.

MECHANICAL HANDBRAKE is part of the MOT, som a expensive way to do things as you would need to then mount another caliper for h/brake somehow/somewhere.
As said way more braking than you could use but this could be modulated easy though.
