Springs + Snow = ?

I'm planning on getting the Eibach Springs next week, but was thinking about if it would be a problem driving in Michigan snow next winter.

Anyone with a difficulty driving in the snow with springs ????

Thanks

It isn't any worse than driving my probe in the snow. The only problem I had was getting out of the driveway. My roommates 300ZX got stuck sideways in the middle of the street, very funny. I didn't have that much trouble but since you live in Michigan you should pray they plow the streets.

well when the car is lower you will be touching the snow with the body of the car. so it will make it harder for the car to drive.

Well, this is what mine looked like last winter with stock springs.
Can you imagine what it would look like if it were lowered ???
