AWD + Snow is a lotta fun! A lot of controllable fun that is. Truely awesome.

Don't run the stock tires of course. I've ran all-seasons (Conti's) on my last 2 cars and had no problems. Running 2 sets of tires/rims is pricey though. Think mine's gonna sit this winter though, gonna invest that winter tire/rim money into the track next spring! 2 cars...

If you have snow tires, it's unstoppable. Don't try it without them.

how many of you guys that drive in the winter are lowered? any problems? i know its going to be fun in the snow, but i'm worried about iceballs and plowing snow with my bumper that may cause damage.

I get some of this with a stock height evo in deeper/wet snow. With blizzaks it's a blast although this year I will have to detune the car so I don't kill myself.

Just be careful and learn how the car handles in a parking lot
