Need an opinion

To install now or not to install now. There is the question.

I just got my progress springs from OZLancerLunitic, and now I'm wondering... Will there be more snow, or no? Should I install this week, or should I wait till march?

What do you guys think. Do you guys think it will snow again?

BTW... I live in Ottawa

ottawa's a little worse than toronto, but spring is only a month away. i'd go for it. it's only going to lower by 1.5 inch or something like that, it's not going to turn your car into a snowplow.

Looks like I've got a nice weekend project

Plus, I'm working out a deal for a single strut bar... so I think this summer will be a real good one

i drove all winter with ground control coilovers and lowered about 2", the only time i was a snowplow is after a really heavy snowfall and the plow never came to my street. there was a perfectly flat path between my tire ruts all the way to my driveway!! hehe. i wasn't too thrilled about the idea but it looked funny when i got out and looked down the street. i say if you have a nice warm garage to work in, then install them now, otherwise wait for the warm weather

It snowed this week end, so I posponed my install. Plus, I'm currently shopping for rims and buying a strut bar, so I figure I might as well install everything at the same time

hey blaze, where are you getting your stuff from? let me know, i'm going to be taking a road trip in the spring, might head up to where you are if there's a good shop to get a progress rear sway bar and some progress springs.

As long as it's not slammed ......you should have no problem with a 1.5 drop..... If it's 3 inches or more it better be just a summer car or full adjustable coilovers
