should this be done?

im prolly lowering my ride with neuspeed sport springs...so im lookin at about a 1.75" drop. can i keep that throughout the winter? or should i put my stock springs back on for the snow season?

what does everyone else with lowered rides do?

Get coilovers, you can adjust the height whenever you want.

i have neuspeed sport springs and i have gone through 2 winters with them on now problems... but i would suggest that you do get a winter beater due to the fact the springs will go faster from rust build up..

same as what smokedcivic said
i have a front lip too, i plow a bit but it's not that bad and of course if the road condition is too bad then dont drive the car if possible

well, im thinkin of goin through one winter with my car lowered, and getting a set of koni yellows in the spring, so next winter i can raise it up. but what im gettin from this thread is one winter, should be okay

I had my H&R's on for one winter, did some plowing due to the front lip. Cities of Mississauga, Toronto, and Hamilton owe me money now for the plowing services. But overall wasn't a bad experience or anything. This year since I have Hayames I'm raising it up to stock for the snow.

I drove with H&R for two winters with a full Kaminari Kit. I absolutely killed the paint on the front and sides skirts. The plan is to remove the skirts for the winter this year. I will still be dropped but there will be no problem without the kit on.

So in summary, if you dont have a kit you will be fine IMO

i use neuspeed race + koni , no problem at all, and I don't think you want to raise you can just for the winter, it will be too much work

im dropped about 2.5 inchs

in the summer i use oversized wheels.. and the diameter is about an inch more than stock... so when i put my stock rims back on in the winter, i actually sit lower than in the summer

so, if you're asking me if i raise my car for the winter.. my answer is no, i lower it by about 1/2 an inch

Koni Yellows DO NOT let you adjust your ride height, only stiffness.

I've been on Neuspeed Sports thru a winter as well, no problems...

winter's are rough on coilovers.....>,<
well at least wif mine.. im just too lazy to raise it and lower it..

if you raise it each winter that comes along.. you're most likely going to have to get an alignment..... unless you dont mind driving with a tilted steering wheel.

i've been through this past winter with like a 2" drop... i have like a one finger gap with my winter tires on... half a gap in the rear. i just usually watch where im driving.. but when i plow.. i usually dont have a choice.
i have winters on usuallly... so not much of a problem b/c i got grib while moving...
