Are you sure about about them not being track capable coilovers? It says on the website that it is mainly for street performance, but I would assume they would do great on track as well. The clubsport/V4 are the more track focused coilovers but the V3's should be fine on track as well as performing great on the street.Si has thicker strut tube than non-Si, so I have heard of people putting non-Si coilovers on the Si with the use of an extra collar. Not the best way of doing things, but it technically works if the collar is steel and pressed on tight.
As far as the earlier discussion was concerned: KW V3 are not meant for the track at all, not sure where you guys get this info. They're softly sprung and soft on compression damping for comfort on the street, you'll have a challenge getting enough spring rate on them to actually deal with track tires in a racetrack environment. Not to mention the lack of a camber option up front, which these cars needs lots of.
If you're going to attempt racing on the V3's you'll want to figure out a way to get to at least -3deg front camber, if not more. Most track-focused coilovers do this out of the box. (Fortune Auto, HKS etc).
