That's what I am debating on, I have narrowed it down to the Flex Z as a non-serviceable option (cheaper), and then KW V1 kit.

I do need to do a few other things to the car, and get tires shortly,...

Oh 100%, the post was actually more so to show that PLA is a bad choice.

Luckily, I don't drive her in the winter, it's stored in relatively warm garage until spring. :D
