Snow

[robdog]

I would like to lower my car this summer but i live in a part of PA that gets 100" + of snow a year. Any comments on how a lowered car does in the snow...would it be too much of a hassle??

There is a good solution to this: coilovers. You can raise or lower your car whenever you want.

something i was always confused about, what part exactely do coilver's play in suspension? Is it the spring system or the whole shock and spring? I have the Koni Yellows on factory springs, can i get coil over system with these?

Since you already have the struts, you'll want coilover sleeves, such as Ground Controls (probably the best sleeves). These are basically springs with adjustable perches to allow you to change the height of your car.

Yes, that's what you need. I think there might be an adapter to fit Konis though, so check that out.

Adjusting shouldn't be too hard (I can't say for sure because I don' thave them). Keep them oiled so they don't rust. You loosen the hold down and turn the adjustment ring to get the desired heigh, and tighten them down again AFAIK. You'll probably need to take your wheel off.
