Thinking of getting the Tein H springs to improve the ride quality on my xB. I am in Michigan and I am a little concerned about doing this with the winter snow we get. Anyone done this and ran in snow?

Thx

yup.

And drove throw 6". Plowed a little snow, but the car still handled great. If you live on country roads that don't get plowed you may need the extra 1.5" clearence, but I live in the city, on a side street so as long as I can plow for two blocks I'm golden :)

I live in Minnesota and we get our fair share of snow (not this year, though). I'm definitely lowering my xB in the spring 1.5"-2".

I figure as long as I don't go out during heavy snow or venture beyond snow plowed streets I will be okay. If my brother's R32 can take it. I think a lowered xB can.

I have seen a xB as a taxi cab but I have not seen one with a snow plow yet. At least not until I install my springs :silly: :silly:
