A problem with Springs and bodykit in snow?

Just curious if anyone with a bodykit and springs have any problems driving in snow? I really would like the kit, but i cant seem to hold off till spring.

So would i have any problems with it in the snow? Like getting stuck?
Sorry if i sound dumb, i just wanted to know.

Damn it Crzy, I told you to wait til the spring. What is the purpose of the bodykit in the winter (there are no meets to show off)? If you get it now, it will not look "new" in the spring (due to snow/sand/salt/rock/ice,etc...) when everybody sees your car again. Don't you rather have a shiny new kit on in the spring so people can sweat it?:p

Don't make me drive to Chicago to slap some sense into you.

I would get it now because the paint on the kit should be exposed to the same conditions as the front bumper and stuff so that the paint matches better and doesnt look off by spring time, bumper has pits but kit is new...looks funky close up...imho

I was going to get the kits in December but I think I am going to wait for March or April..then get springs and Rims.......I say wait

Then just paint the front bumper in the spring so it won't be that noticeable

If you drop over 1.5", then it's over with the bodykit. I drive my Accord V6 daily even in snow storm with a WingsWest bodykit and a 1.5" Prokit drop. This has never caused me any problems. In fact, my bodykit was installed In January almost 2 years ago and it's still on there. I've driven through heavy snow storm here around Chicago. I occasionally scooped up snow by the front lip area, but nothing major. The key point is to drive smart.

From experience I say get two now. One for winter and one for the rest of the year. Which ever one you scratch first use in the winter.
