I also run the stock wheels in winter without spacers and they're just as sunk in as they are at stock height. Once my shocks blow i'll replace with koni yellows or just move up to coilovers.
I second your 'happy with them' motion. I've had RCE yellow springs with Koni yellow insert struts/shocks for over almost 2 years. Wonderful springs and the Koni shocks have been great too. Full soft is a little more comfy than stock and the harder settings are less comfortable, but increase road handling feel quite a bit. I run 17x8.25 et35 which seems to be the best offset for being flush without going over the wheel well for a non extreme camber setup. I'm around -1.3 camber in front and -1.5 in rear. Handles great on the track and street. RE-11a tires (245/45R17) help significantly however though too.
