It's not much different. I have found that, in some cases, the rear end wants to kick out a little more than it did on stock suspension, but nothing that isn't controllable with responsible driving.

I agree with Otter, I drove 1 winter with STechs and my first winter stock, it was not noticeable but the most important factor as the Otter-man has said is responsible driving

i just got a couple inches of snow last week(first time driving with s-techs)honestly there wasnt much of a difference, IMO just get good tires for snow, im still running the stock tires that came with the car and it was a little scarey.

The only thing i can add is if you get lost of snow on the roads then make sure you wash out your wheel wells otherwise lots of snow will pack in there and the ride will feel very rough as you go over any bumps potholes. Also get winter tires like someone said above.

take it to a parking lot and open it up get a feel for the car and how it can handle the snow, thats what i did last night, and it was a blast, and got me used to driving with new all season tires in the snow

It's a blast until a cop catches you. They don't take kindly to that behavoir.

yeah, that's for sure.

I had a buddy that was a security guard at a local mall. we went out there until someone else showed up to do it. his on duty coworker called us and told us to leave so he could call the cops on the other guy
