ok...well i just bought a 1997 lude in the summer...and without thinking about the fact that i live in canada and we have snow here...i was wondering if anyone knows if a stock lude will make it through winter... like snow and stuff...just need some input thanks.

 

Sure it will make it, as long as you have good tires and drive with caution. I'm gonna rock mine for the winter, as it is my only car, so I don't have a choice.

 

yea...im not worried about the tires or if i slip...im worrying about hte snow....like if i will be able to go through the snow if its a little higher or something, say if theres like 10 inches of snow or something...will i make it through or would i be stuck in it? and.....im not sure but it seems like my lude is extremely low...i dunno if its stock but damn its really low....anyone know how much off the floor a stock lude is?

 

I would estimate stock ride height in the front to be about 5-6 inches, but I'm not looking at my car right now. I think I remember hearing that it is 5 inches. So, no don't drive through 10 inches of snow.

 

oh man....its going to be a brutal winter, trying to avoid the high snow area's....since i always take back routes to avoid traffic, if my ride is stock...would i be able to raise it up? and would it make a big difference?

 

no and no. If there is that much snow on the road, I wouldn't leave the house. Don't they plow the roads in Canada?

 

yeah they do, its just sometimes if im leaving for work, they dont get to plowing the small streets before i get up and go out.. =/ damn

 

Use common sense and you'll be fine.

 

front wheel drive does really good in snow. i used to take my little civic hatch off road in the snow and ive gone up some pretty crazy hills where my buddys nissan p/u had to be in four. so yeah they do good in snow, but if its a nice car i wouldnt drive during winter.

 

hehe onl yprob is the height of the car....its really hugging the floors even stock =/
