OK heres the deelio, I have an Laser NT (GST), and I just bought the Drift body kit for it. Its not installed yet, probably will go on in a couple of months (for 16th b-day). But heres the problem, I live in canada, and those of you who live here or have been here know that the extremely cold winters and hot summers make our roads horrible in some spots. So with the kit on (adds about 7-8 cm more than stock front(2.5 inches)) will i have enough clearence to drive without completely destroying my precious dsm?? (stock suspension... thoughts on coilovers/adjustable suspension set-ups?)
 
No easy way around it. With the kit on, you'll probably have a tough time no matter where you are, what season it is, or what time of day. Every spot in the world has it's up's and down's. If the winter is what really worries you, buy a junker car, bum rides from a friends, or drive like a little old lady, very slow and cautious.

As for the suspension, it depends on what typ of setup you are going for. Race, street, looks. It's up to you...

Good luck!!
