I want to lower my car, but I live in Ohio and it can get snowy here. I worry about my car being lowered in the snow. Anyone have trouble with their lowered cars in the snow? My accord would get packed snow in the wheel well, and I would have to dig it out occasionally and it was not lowered.

I had a 2G TL lowered about 2.5 inches in Syracuse NY and it was fine. Yeah sometimes I did shovel snow driving down the road cuz I was so low but it didn't bother me. If your not slammed, you should be fine. Just make sure you have good tires

With a massive amount of snow, you'll have problems. In Anchorage, we basically have two types depending on the outside temperature and accumulation rate. If it's cold out (colder than 10 F), and the flakes are big, 6" over a few hours is nothing. If it's warm out (above 30 F), 6" of heavy snow can cause problems:



The day I took that picture, there was about 8" of thick heavy snow on the ground. I turned around and had my wife drop me off at work. The warm thick heavy stuff also makes the roads horribly bumpy in a lowered car. So I had to get a ride the next day too. I've always driven lowered cars here. But, I also have a Subaru for those really bad days.

Just make sure you have a back up form of transportation.

get coilovers and then you can raise during winter months.

i had a similar question but is in regard of water or flooded streets, if you are driving in a highway and there is a lot of cars behind you and you see a long flood in your path, what would u do if you are lowered? u can't back up because of the cars being behind you.
