Raising and Lowering car, winter and summer

So what do people do for the winter when their car is lowered? do you raise it up? or just leave it. This is my first winter lowered on coils and as much as I want to raise it up I dont want to get an alignment every single time... just wondering what other people are doing

u can buy a package from brigestone tires for life time alignments. Come summer, adjust coils, then go get align, come winter adjust then go align ect. and the package is actually reasonably priced.

I am not on coilovers but i'm lowered on RRM springs. This is my second winter on them. I never have any problems other than sometimes being a snow plow. Just get some good winter tires and you'll be fine

I had to make a compromise between slamming, winter driving in Tahoe, and fun driving (track, autox, mountain runs). I'm on coils and just lowered it slightly; maybe an inch lower than stock so I can do everything without making changes. It looks better than stock height, doesn't plow the snow, and can still handle the twisty stuff.
