You could do what I do, and swap back to stock suspension for the winter. It really isn't all that difficult to do, nor is tweaking the alignment yourself when you make the swap.
And the benefit is more grip with a better fit for the wider tires. If it were allowed in STX, I'd probably go to a 17x10 running 265 or 275 width tires. It would get me closer to the tire-to-weight ratio I used to have in my Miata.
