How about driving in snow with a 2" drop?? Anyone tried that? I'm thinking about buying an XB with a drop and don't want to be screwed when it snows here.

Springs are not a big deal if you know what you are doing I think a couple of hrs if you take your time.. At least for the xA.

I think you should be fine, but my drivers side strut busted under 10k lowered about 2". Not sure when it happened but it was near when I replaced my Tenzo's with Tanabe DF210's.

I might buy the TRD struts and shocks just cause I think they will all be busted over the next 10k driving in LA

Dunno what you mean? My 18" 35's are doing just fine after about 7k? but they now rub the wheel well a bit with the Tanabe's up front when i turn. Nothing major.
