1.5" Lower front & back: Snow issues?
Hi all,
I have my 07 sedan lowered with Megan Racing springs approximately 1.5" both front and back. I also have rear TRD sway bar and a strut bar in front. Tires are 195/60 all season with decent grip on light snow conditions. I haven't drove the car with this setup on snow yet. On stock it was fine. I am planning on a trip to VT this weekend. It will have some snow (~2") and it got me thinking, maybe there are problems with snow accumulation in the front. Any experiences? John |

There are many discussions on being lowered in the snow.
MUSKOKA800 is running a sedan with similar setup albeit with proper dedicated winter tires. He has no issues with snow other than one time when he tried to blast through a pile left by a snowplow.

Yes, with proper snow tires you're good to about 4" of fresh snow before the under-carriage starts dragging. That isn't a problem in fluffy snow but heavy stuff is a challenge. The biggest issue, which would effect any car is plow berms and idiot neighbours who clear their driveways out onto the road before the plows pass. I made it 50 kl home from work only to get beached on my street in sight of home. Ugh!
