It is fine to drive in the rain. The STI comes with a watergun that sprays water in the intercooler to cool it off. Water ON (NOT IN) the intercooler is good. Rain water is good. Acid Rain is bad.
I see no problems with aftermarket coilovers having problems in cold weather. Just don't go out in the snow. Stay on the road.
