I am on KW V1 coils, so far so good for me, been on the car since Summer/Fall 2014

i'm on the Corksport springs too. i only lowered the front though as the car doesn't sit nice when you have passengers in the backseat. it actually looks pretty nice with the nose down. as for your question with winters, i think you should be okay. just as long as you bring around your snow brush or some kind of stick to get rid of the stubborn hard slush that likes to stick around your wheel wells, you should be good cheers!

thanks man appreciate it!
Not too low but S-Tech springs with a CS aluminum skid plate. Winter driving is easy --> Snow plow mode
I'm running exactly the same set-up
@_ryanjayy the only place (of all places) that I had an issue was in the drive thru of the Tim's by Vaughan Mills because of how crappy of a clean up job they do post snow fall
My Parents bought me more Hot Wheels than Barbies when I was little...
yeah i did, front has a 2" drop, rears is 1.5 i think
thanks and oh man the worst plaza ever
@WhiteGenpu
Havent checked in a bit, they looked okay to me.
It's all based on your personal comfort and experience really. Physically, unless you're doing something dumb, it's not all that restricting. Our cars are surprisingly good in the white stuff with good winter tires. I've even done winter all the way slammed on BC coils with collar removed and didn't get stuck once.
I am currently on springs on my Speed, and I have run lowered for the past 2 winters, I only had a problem once with a particularly big snowfall that stopped me from getting out of the driveway.

Offtopic but do you guys typically drive with traction control off? I find it way too restricting and always cutting in.
Would it be a good idea to swap to stock struts and springs in winter then switch over to coils in spring?
I haven't done any changes to my suspension yet so im looking for options. I've seen somewhere online that it's a good idea so im also wondering if someone here have done that and pros - cons would be great as well
Ya its a good idea, if you have the time and the money for someone to do it for you....if you can do it urself, that's great!
no. i have a winter beater lol

@muchikori
Just alignment I would say, maybe bring it to a shop and asked if you did everything right?? A second pair of eyes doesnt hurt, imo. Maybe make sure the wheels are back on tightly?? Take it for a drive around the block.
That's about it.
