hey all.


im not sure how many people can help me on this prolly people that live or have lived in the snow. anyway im looking into a suspension setup, i think im gonna go with the tokico illuminas and like a skunk 2 adjustable coilover so i can raise the height back to stock so when it snows i only snow plow a little bit.. anyway any input is appreciated also does anyone have the rmdsm sway bars installed if so how do you like them?

thanks for the input.

I suggest not lowering the car a bit , cause ( here anyways ) they don't always clear the roads promptly, sometimes there's like 6-7 inches + of snow on some roads on my car feels like a snow plow , I would wait till spring to get my suspension done ( or lowered)
 
yeah your right i wouldnt lower it till summer i would just leave the coilovers at stock height right now but it seems senseless to jsut buy non adjustable springs that can be used for only 3 months.... yeah we had one of those snow falls today....
 
You still keep the stiff spring rates, and when it is not snowing you can lower it back down in a few minutes.
 
Stiff springs are not the best way to go when driving on packed snow. You can reduce the problem by dropping tire pressure, but that a band-aid.
