H&R sport springs + Chicago winters.

TunedM2C · 08-19-2009, 08:08 PM

OK, so I'm contemplating getting the H&R sport springs but my main concern is what will happen once winter gets here? I have 18" snow tires for the OEM wheels and they were great last year but if I lower it a bit with the springs will I end up plowing school parking lots as a side job?

i rolled around with front lip and lowered on eibach pro kit last year

was just fine

youll do a little plowing, but youll make it through w/o issue

Careful for the ice chunks !!!

I did it here in Madison with no issues and they don't plow very well here... i don't have an aftermarket lip like Vudoo though

that's why i love madison!!! that and when it snows heavy people stay in...so that means I'm the only one on the road! more fun for me lol. That's why when I sold my Audi S4, I knew I was gonna have to get an XI.

Darkcyd_Turbo · 08-26-2009, 12:17 PM

but on topic, you'll do fine...like cuban said, watch for ice chunks because that shit will f your bumper up regardless of being lowered.

It really is funny when I drive up to devils head or cascade and I'm the only d-bag on the road still doing 80mph in a blizzard. People think I'm nuts and give me funny looks as I pass them.
