Well, I thought you were getting ready to offer some information on these lubes and then educate us!
Sorry, your statement just seemed pretty vague to me. How cold? In what? Garage? How far can you go before entering major highway? What type of LSD?
I have never used any of the products you list in cold weather. But I'm familiar with LE1605 and think it would serve you well down to 0F, and probably much colder. I think 1604 has the same pour point (-11F) as 1605.

I can't tell you about 1604 but me and a lot of my buddies run 1605 in our S2000's and many of them drive all-year-round in the Northeast US with no issues.
