One update of note - I spoke with KW regarding the idea of running their spring spacers to increase the maximum ride height for V1/V3 coilovers (and presumably ST coilovers as well) closer to stock ride height for winter driving.

They said that running the 15mm spring spacers would be OK, and there would still be sufficient droop/extension travel. Anything more than that, they wouldn't recommend (EDIT: their next size of spacer is 30mm FWIW, so it's quite a difference).

With the 15mm spacers, ride height would be within about 5mm of stock ride height at the highest setting, and still drop as much as 35mm below stock at the lowest setting.
