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.
