Default What Dampener is better for the snow?

Hey,

So it snowed in NoVA for the first time today. What would give you better control: softer damper or stiffer damper?

Thanks.

not knowing what spring rates etc, i would leave your shocks on full soft. this will allow the tires to have the most grip in slippery conditions. it is similiar to running a race event in the cold/wet. i run full soft.

Running stock shocks on Skunk2 coils . I was going up hill doing 40mph. Other people was swirling around everywhere. I guess my car is slammed you can say, not for long I will be stuck if more snow coming to Nova.

Well I was just on the road for about two hours on all kinds of differnet roads and full soft worked for me really well. Setup is KYB AGX's on H&R sport springs. 1.8F, 1.6R. I guess the new tires helped too.
