Welp, KVR didn't go *quite* as smoothly. Near the start of the first regularity I blew the passenger front strut, so that corner kept bottoming out with increasingly loud bangs. Regs 2 and 3 went fine, but a few km into reg 4 we blew the passenger front tire. On its own that's no big deal, but while swapping on the spare we noticed the strut mount was blown to bits so everything was able to flop around quite a bit anytime that corner was unloaded. We decided not to push it (I figured it wouldn't be long before the strut broke completely free and came through the hood) and limped it home. I can't say for sure how much of the damage was from KVR and how much was carried over damage from Thunderbird (and how much was just old parts failing) but we've got plans to give the car 5" more clearance and 4" more suspension travel for Totem.
