If anyone swoops in while I do some research, it does look like a nice upgrade. There will be some warmer days this winter to install stuff while car stays garaged for season.
This Raceseng rear tophat is for when the car is lowered anywhere from 1"-2" of height. The KwV3 from past experience when lowered at 2" will 'bottom out' it's dampers when there is a deep pothole because there is no shock travel anymore in the shock. With these 2" rear tophat, you can have the ability to lower 2" on the KW system and also keep the shock travel distance which improves ride quality overall and performance on the track.

The install should be fairly easy, no more than 30 minutes inside your garage with DIY tools.
