Hello,

I was thinking of lowering my car with the H&R springs.  I live in Canada so I am concerned about the snow and winter. what do you guys think? Is it a bad idea to lower the ride?

Thanks!

I feel mine is too low sometimes, scrape on curbs and parking blocks.  I had lowered cars when I was younger, don't miss the hassle.  The SHO looks good lowered and probably handles better, but I need to dodge rocks, road kill, and snow drifts.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

That too is something to think about when lowering the vehicle.

I miss my Eibachs, I was able to put two adults in the back with a trunkful of luggage and no issues.

I know some didn't like the rake but I feel it was an excellent all around solution.
