If I had coils, I'd raise them to a ridiculous height. If I hade nice wheels, I'd put some crappers on with Blizzaks. If I had a lip, I'd take it off. Instead, I rhino line everything bare underneath my car that I can get to.

i had a project s13 for a little while back in the day, i bought it at the beginning of winter, i left it by the garage and didnt mess with it for a while, it snowed one day and i thought "you know i never checked the coolant, how much water was in there"
well it was all water, and the damn thing was totally frozen lol the rad hoses were hard as a rock.
i took a baking pan and some charcoal and fired it up under the oil pan, bout 20 minutes later, it was all good. i got extremely lucky.
now i pay attention to things like that faithfully.
