I was just trying find out if anyone has gone through the Winter snow lowered? I know that the East coast just got the Xb this year. I've been thinking about lowering my box this past month. But I am really not sure with Winter right around the corner. :? The paint on the XB is so thin...I can imagine it being scrapped up by ice or packed snow. I park on the street so coming in and out of a parking space is going to be crazy.
If you ask me this question in a couple of months....I will be able to asnwer it...
:D
But I dont think you will find that many people that had their XB's during winter...I know that there was only a small Snowstorm in March of this year and the car handled great but I was not lowered...I guess we will have to wait and see... :D

I'm not lowered yet, but we just had our first major snow here in Denver... in the last two months I have broken 14,000 feet twice... snow was there once, but i have skied the past two weekends... and there was plenty of snow...
I am seriously close to lowering, so give me a month or so... I got other things I want to buy at the moment...

Well I ordered some Megan Lowering Springs yesterday, which claim to have a 2" drop. Hopefully I won't be too low. Unfortunately, my other car is a supercharged Grand Prix which is horrible in the snow. I might have to stock up on canned goods if gets too bad.
let us know how you like the springs, they are relatively untested. So, with the 2" drop you'll still have 4" clearence. No biggy. if there's >4" of snow on the road you should stay home with hot chocolate anyway
i got my car around feb and when it was cold my car had a hard time startn only did it twice, but i hope it dont happen this winter, i was hopeing maybe the engine was just new and needed to be broken in

I just missed a chance to by a winter beater
. My brother-in-law was selling his Ford Escort Gt for $500. Another family member swept it up
. Just as well...my wife was yapping about how we didn't need to have a third car
