Shlammed and still driving in the snow!!
As we all know, yesterday was pretty much the first major snow fall of the season, and I was planning on changing the suspension yesterday but as my luck goes i didnt have much time due to prior engagements...

Anyone else still driving around on a slammed ride or am i the only loser left...lol...?

I'm driving on H&R Sports with snow tires. No problems whatsoever. No plans on changing.

i tossed my stock suspension back in, took me an hour and a half... makes life easier when you have aftermarket shocks too, just by new strut mounts, and you have a compleate suspension swap for winter, takes no time when you dont have to disassemble the strut/spring assy..

I drove slammed last winter and plowed the streets.
Punk has my old suspension so he knows how I feel.

those springs aren't on all round though... the front bumper was no more then 4 inches off the ground before... that is to low for winter

Still on the H&R Sports here too. I don't think I'll have any problems... I took the WW RS lip off to accomodate the nose mask so I'm sure I'll be fine.
