I hear this so much and it really bugs me. While you might not be able to dial in the damper settings to shave those last couple of tenths on track, you would absolutely notice the difference between your coilovers and a KW.

Also, I see you have that camber gauge on there with the wheel off and the car needs to be aligned at ride height on very flat ground. So hopefully you had a jack under control arm and measured fender to wheel center height and also got the car dead level. Otherwise it's going to be WAY off.

I can't see how it would be much. It's just changing one spring for a slightly better one of the same rate. If the stock ones are somehow that bad what does it say about the rest of the parts?
