I have the h&r springs and brand new motorcraft struts and shocks. I purchased them maybe a month ago but held off on the install. I originally was not going to drive the sho this winter. But I gave my niece my other car since hers got totaled. So that made me hold off. I will say she was a tank in the snow this morning. I was very impressed with the car and the Conti DWS in the snow. Z does having the springs installed hurt the snow driving a lot with the lower ground clearance?
