this wil bemy firdt winter with my Ek, should i do change anything?

do most you guyd keep ur lower height in the winter time?

 

Steelies + All Season/Winter tires are a must

 

You will be fine with some snow tires. Hell, I drove in summer performance tires for 2 years and I was fine. Just don't have your car too low to the ground, or else someone might as well rent you for a snow plow.

my del sol is lowered and i got a beater because i dont wanna snow plow all winter. Just make sure everything is working good and that all fluids are topped off.

 

You should think about getting some winter tires. I guess you can say it all depends on your setup. My old hatch I had a stage 3 clutch and summer tires. And I can say it was pretty scary.

 

how low is too "winter low"

 

2" off ground in winter is too low, 1' below stock hieght is good in winter

get good tires and chains

Careful about getting chains, they can be restricted in certain states at certain times oh the year. Better off just getting good winter tires such as the Blizzak Revo1, Blizzak WS50, Michelin X-Ice...etc. Come to the wheel and tire forum if you need more advice.

Another thing is if you care about your car you may want to consider having it oil sprayed.....Hondas rust easily and winter brings a lot of salt.

Cheers.

Got rust?

Get good winter tires.....dont wimp out cause it will bite you in the ***. I got some Yokohama Ice Guards and i love them.

I have heard that Blizzak tires do really well. I don't have to worry since I have Yokohama AT+II's on my truck, but the Blizzak's should do well. Link to the Wheel and Tire Forum

I use X-Ice tires; have for several winters now.
I dont have any issues at all, and Im at ~1.5" drop. I do remove my lip though

 

who gives a ****. as long as your not trying to plow snow youll be ok

 

I'm from NJ (originally), you shouldn't have to worry about ride height. I never raised my coupe or hatch for the winters. I just threw on steelies with some all season tires. Just wait for the roads to clear if it does get to deep, everything closes up anyway so you shouldn't have anywhere to go.

Just as long as they have tread left you should be fine, just take it easy on the roads. If they are balding you may wish to consider other options.

cheers.
