Lip Kit and drop vs. Chicago winter

I was thinking of giving a slight drop and the OEM lip kit, but not sure how the ground clearance will be affected in decent depths of snow.

Anybody there deal with this issue and have some advice?

WINTER WILL WIN!

you can do the lip kit, but the drop should wait after winter.. this is why you should get a full coil set up.. takes about 30-45 mins to adjust the height with full coils.

I love my H&R springs but if I could do it all over again, I would've gotten coils in the 1st place; I'm planning on getting coils in the near future.

I like the look of the lowered 4G. However one is eough. My miata is lowered with appearence package and I have to be ultra careful. Since I only drive in in good weather I can deal with it. I did not want to have to deal with the Tl too. AS OP said, the snow is goona when, expecially when it get hard and turns to ice.
