I dont think you need to raise it up, just get the winter tires in there and I would think you're straight. Im not planning to swap my Eibachs out, that would be plain old silly.

If you picked your tires right, Matt, changing wheels shouldn't matter. It should stay the same height.

I'm thinking about raising up my coupe on Thursday because I get the day off; snow arrived this morning.

i say leave it alone.. im in nyc on BC's and i'm not gonna raise it. The only hazard i see is after it snows and those cold days that hardens the old snow into like ice blocks, but you should be fine.

I'd say raise it up - for most snow storms you're not going to be driving through deep enough snow for it to matter.

But then there'll be one blizzard this winter that'll make you kick yourself for being a snow plow. ;)

yeah I'd raise it. Your stillen front lip doesnt double as a snow plow. and i know you'd be real pissed if it became one. Just put my stockers on yesterday. at least you have the 18's man

Honestly the difference between eibach and my car which is much lower than yours :chuckle: is only about an inch???

I dont think you raising it an inch will save you from that much snow?????????

But its your call bro. I would hate to tell you not to do it and something bad happen.
