yes they are

just make sure you don't fit the xr ones as they are longer and have caused issues in the past, although some cars work fine with them

As above, ensure they are genuine Cosworth and you'll be fine

Beware of sellers trying to fob you off with uprated shafts as they are the xr spec ones 10mm longer

On lowered cars it can be benificially but in most cases they cause binding issues as they stop The suspension working properly
