Did not have PP. I am very pleased with the ride quality. No lights on the shock button now feels like 1 light on previously and so on, which I like. I am sure it will get a little rougher with 20s but there is not much difference between a 19" and 20" wheel in my opinion.

Have not done an alignment yet because I want to wait until I have the wheel spacers on which will be later next week.

Would not be possible. Lower part of the the KW spring gets smaller to fit the adjustable perch. Factory spring has a much larger diameter at the bottom.
