I know they are summer tires through and through but so are the primacys - granted, those are GT summers.

I've been driving the car like a Corolla/Camry all fall/winter, so it should be ok...

It's hardly scientific, but I have driven on them at 50-ish and it felt fine. Not sphincter-tightening at those temps.

as far as the spring rates go you saw my rubber right? You have to balance aero (I have none so it makes picking spring rates much much easier) with your tire grip level to your spring rates if you want to achieve the optimal performance. In all honesty my spring rates are probably a little on the soft side for the tires I am running.

And yes next year (likely when I will) I will be sending my coils in for a major upgrade then I can say I am apart of the way overkill coilover club.
I have those stabilizers and They're the real deal Holyfield
