It's early to discuss about winter but has anyone driven through snow with their Tanabe NF210 lowering springs? I haven't used them during the winter and was wondering how the traction is in mild snow conditions. Does having the springs affect the tread life and traction is a positive or negative manner?

if your car is properly aligned after lowered, camber wear shouldn't be an issue.

However, since the car is lowered, it'll get suck easier. I got beached last year driving in slow. 1 hour to go 1 block isn't fun.

I drove last year in the snow, which was before I got my springs, and in some spots I would have a hard time. I definitely wouldn't even try. If it snows in OC this year I am not leaving my house. lol
