If you live in NJ(i'm so sorry ), I'd wait until the spring, especially if you have a bodykit. If we do get alot of snow I may have to take off my front lip spoiler and then probably my sideskirts because it would look so strange. No need for my TL-S to become a snowplow.

I wonder what those kids with 1 inch ground clearance do in the winter?

Are you talking about me and my 3" drop?

That's exactly why I got the Apexi Coilovers. I am going to raise my TL back up to SUV level (who needs the MDX).:p

BTW, since you live in NJ, definitely wait until the spring time.

I got Comptechs and im not worrying about my car in the snow. I dont have a bodykit though. Its 5 inches from my bumper to the ground. If im driving in snow more than 5 inches deep then i got other problems to worry about.

If you didn't have the bodykit, I would say get it now. SInce you do, just wait and enjoy it in spring.
