anyone run H&R sport springs in the winter(snow)?

[doublezero30]

im debating whether i should get eibach springs and sit a bit higher but have functionality year round, or h&r sport springs to look better. but im not sure the h&r's are too low for when the snow comes or not. i mean, granted it hasnt snow too too bad around here the past few years. but if anyone is or has run h&r sports in the snow, were they too low? did you have any problems? thanks!

I ran H&R Coilovers at 24.25 inches all winter and it was fine. Im actually going to raise them about 1/2 inch though.

NS race all year...no more belly pan..lol but it was fine. unless you live in the sticks, or have a plow attachment..

[doublezero30]

^lol your bellypan got ripped off? im assuming you just have to drive EXTREMELY carefully during pothole season.

[JustinCase]

Yeah I drive carefully anyway though because of the 19s.

x2 on the ripping off the belly pan on coils; mine was the DS body cover. I ran my Eibachs all the way down in the front (around 23.75" I think) and 24" in the rear all winter and was ok. No traction issues or anything and the occasional Audi snow plow is fun. It just looks so damn good low and I didn't want to raise it.

23.75 is nuts...I bottom out the suspension all the time at 24.25

I have H&R Coilovers, but I run this height all year long with Full Oettinger in Boston... hope it helps you somehow.

[doublezero30]

sweet. looks like ill be getting the h&r springs! wish i could afford the coilovers, but i know ide just set the height and forget it anyway.

[ewytt]

you guys must not hit the mountains much.

We just bought the H&R Sports. I'm not too worried about it. We just won't be able to park in the driveway during winter but oh well.

[HamidsVikes]

I have those... havent had problems...
I run snows on my stock 17" in the winter, and even with the body kit, I havent had any issues... besides being a snow plow sometimes...
I live in Vancouver, so we do get snow...
I would recommend these springs...
as far as I'm concerned the lower the better!

I ran these on the snow lol
