yeah, my car is my daily and new england winters can suck, like this past one, in the almost 4 years ive owned the car ( bought new ) its been lowered on h&rs since the second week ive owned it, ive only had one instance where i was driving thru snow and from dragging on the bottom of the car made me loose my momentum and ended up getting stuck, other than that it hasnt been a problem. if you do lower the car be smart about it as well like i did, if i know were going to get snow, ill try and ride with a friend to work, or carpool with my girlfriend or something like that so i can avoid any problems if possible.

anyone ever figure out what the drop is for a 2.4 with tenzo r springs. a guy i work with is selling his brand new set that he never got around to installing for $100 and i heard its a 2.0/2.5 drop, that and they are blue and much better from what i've heard then the ssc springs i got on now
Or less than the LS/LT model

1st white SS/TC I've seen (I didn't even know that they offered it in that color). It looks great & my 2nd choice after silver.

I like the drop with the SSI springs.
I need to drop mine more but not sure if I want sportlines or ksprts.
I don't want to go lower then 2 in the front because it is a DD that gets used in the snow.
Does anyone have pics of a LT with 16 inch wheels on Ksport springs?

also anyone else that is lowered notice a rubbing noise under aggressive right bend turns. i've got 215/45zr17's and i didn't notice this sound last year when i had them but lately if i get above 80km/h in a bend i get this loud rubbing noise. the weird thing is there is no rub marks on the tire or the wheel well. also its on all right bends haven't noticed it on left ones.

If you have an LS they will be under dampened because the stock struts are not made for spring rates that high. You can still put them on there but you will not see the most performance from them. I would only run them with the TC struts and shocks personally but it looks like you have a SS/SC. If your struts have had a lot of miles on them, I would get both struts and springs. The SC struts are not as stiff as the TC ones but they are a lot better than FE1 stuff.
