I'm not convinced that a different compound would clear the water off any faster. The brakes are outstanding when dry. I may eventually do pads as well but I'm pretty convinced that drilled rotors...

Based on responses here, I'm going to give drilled rotors a try. Ill log data brake pressure vs wheel speed before and after rotor install if anyone is interested. Thanks again!

The instruction manual online with the part numbers of my current springs recommended 20mm. I might reduce it more eventually, but I'm happy for now.

Spring length doesn't limit travel unless you preload to the point of coil bind or have a spring that is way too short. Thanks for all the tips on books folks.

Not too far off but I wouldn't say equal bump and droop is always the best. Depends of what your doing and how much travel there is to work with.

If your car gets too low, you hit the bump stops. If you raise it with preload, the car is lifted away from the bump stops. More preload= more cowbell.
