3rd: from non-sport STOCK suspension, whats the LEAST drop i can have and with which coilover in the winter?
BTW, my biggest concern is the REAR of my car, i dont want the REAR to be low.

The only COs that will not rust is KW.
If you are looking for KWs.. they can be ordered from PES Tuning.
Variant 1 - height adjustable
Variant 2 - height and dampening adjustable
Variant 3 - full race

Why would you want to raise the coilovers?
The object of getting coilovers is for lowering adjustability.
KW Suspensions at this time is the only company to offer a stainless steel shock body which will prevent rust and oxidation and will also allow for smooth collar adjustments over time.
