suspension in winter

[hybridshooter]

I am getting ready to put KYB AGX shocks and Eibach Prokit springs on my car, but before I do will these for some reason effect my winter drivability? This is my only car, and I want better performance, but I also need to drive it year round. If this will make my car react poorly in the winter I probably won't do it. I would appreciate any insite into this. Thank you all.

Well, it'll be lower and stiffer, whether that's going to hurt you depends on the roads in your area and how much snow/ice you get. Yes, it will effect it.

thanks for the information. The roads around here really suck in the winter. Las year I spun out a Mustang across a four lane road during rush hour So I know how they can be. Will handling in the snow/ice be hurt if I do this, or will it mostly be clearance. Thanks again.

No you should be just fine. Just avoid the many potholes that will come up from snow plows and road salt.

THANKS! Thats great to here. I'm not going to be driving when it gets really bad out, so I'll just watch all the pot holes (damn Ohio roads) and take it easy a little. Thanks again

Stiffer suspension = worse handling in the winter (rain too).
