Question Eibach sportlines and Winter?

I wanna drop my car but my issue is I need to keep my car winter driveable, if i put eibach sportlines on do you think I could still have enough clearance even on really bad days of canadian winter. I would like to go coilovers but dont wanna spend the money right now, and just wanna get the car dropped for the summer with an exhaust. thats another question can i drive in the winter with a catback exhaust system will it scrape alot.

Thanks

I just got my Sportlines after the CO winter, and looking at the drop I am not worried about snow clearance at all. I have already been through a couple bad rainstorms with no problems.

I had Eibach sportlines on during the winter and had on the Xenon body kit for most of the winter never had a problem. You just will have to watch for big ice chunks that drop off cars.
Its not that big of a drop Ive only scraped my exhaust once, My sideskirts are a different story though

You will be fine in the winter but if you have a kit I recommend you take it off for the winter. Being lower exposes your front end to more salt/sand/stone chips and it kills your paint.

The cat back exhaust wont be a problem. I rolled with mine all winter.

yea i agree with jerk2... i have eibach sport lines too. 1.75" drop all around. last winter i drove with a front skirt (wingswest g5) and a rear skirt. i was fine i got stuck 1 time and thats juss cuz my tires are pretty poor when it comes to winter and i was on a big patch of ice. this winter i'm gonna be driving with a whole kit pretty much. i dont think i'll have much probs anyways.
