  • Being "LOW" in the winter???

    What's up ctvtec. I'm almost done buying most of my suspension parts and I'm trying to decide when to put it all on. This is the first time I'm going to be lowering a car of mines. I know most people are to lazy to raise their car for winter driving so I thought I'd ask is it really a bitch to DD a lowered car in the winter? I planned to wait til mid January/ early febuary to lower it. My car is not goin to be slammed by any means just enough to close the wheel gap with my 195/55-15. Thanks

          I can drive in the snow pretty good at it. My only worry is getting use to driving low. Other then having to watch out for speed bumps and fucked up roads what should I expect?

                  I'm sure you have to go out before 10 am,during the week so I wouldn't lower it only reason they don't plow before 10 am in my neighborhood and I usually get stuck in my car,its low but not slammed

                        Falken 912's suck in the snow. Get 2 real snows for the front and you'll be fine.

                            Get atleast 2 regular snow tires. Like a blizzak. Trust me. Or u can be like the assholes that slip and crash then have to spend 1000 to fix the car when they should have spent 150 on 2 tires and avoided it all. I realize what u think u have. Compare ur tread pattern to a snow tire and tell me if its similar, it's like comparing apples to oranges
