Default Driving in snow w/ a lowered car

How much different is it driving in snow with a lowered car than driving in it with it at stock height? Is it more difficult or anything? Thanks

It was weird for me because I was plowing the snow with my front lip. Plus it just feels nerve wrecking hearing all the snow being crushed under your car. If the snow is too deep, i think you are going to get stuck...but you might get stuck regardless of height.

It depends how low you are, and how much snow is on the ground. I personally am lowered about 2 inches and LOVE driving in the snow...

I always thought it was fine with the exception of being a snow plow. This was untill yesterday when I had to drive down an alley with packed ice about 5 + inches high and tire paths exposing the street. Not only was the packed ice noisy, but I could litereally FEEL it under my feet. I thought I was going to loose my exhaust :happysad:


Although, I love it when there's a fresh snow fall and I have access to a large empty parking lot .

My car is lowered and I drove it in all the snow storms we had this year and it kicked the snows ass. My front lip plowed the roads for me.

And the best way to drive in snow has to be...
