    My GP is my dd, and thinking back to this past winter, I think I'd have gotten stuck quite a few times if I were lowered any more than OP is, with the size of the mounds and drifts left over from what the plow guys here do... they're not the most thorough bunch.

    I can see the difference though, I like it... I like the wheels too, maybe just a tinyyyyy bit bigger if I bought them myself!
    Orly?

    I live further north of you in NY, I'm dropped on SSC's, riding on 18" All-seasons and never corrected the camber. Never got stuck once and it is driven daily in a lot of snow storms. Just gotta be aware of where your driving and your surroundings. Also...I'm about to go lower....alot lower...probably a 3-4" drop overall

    Well I mean Im not talking about snowfall quantities or being careless, just that when the plow guys go down the road, at every intersection they go straight through so sometimes a pretty tall wall of snow is left over and they dont go back to clean it up or plow the rest of it away, just 1 pass and they say good enough... and sometimes where Im at they dont plow at all for a day or 2...

    And I realize these cars are plows in themselves, I bash through everything, but even at my stock height I get hung up on this crap sometimes...maybe they plow better where you are. Maybe Im wrong, I could be since I never drove a lowered car in the snow, but it just seems to me if I almost get stuck on some of the higher stuff, I'd have to keep a shovel in the car with me should I lower very much.
