We have the Spy 2.1" with 18" wheels and 35 series Perelli's on both our Xa and our Xb. I drove both last winter and had no problems, the xb with traction control and VSC performed amazingly well. I even took the Xb out one night when we got @6" just to play, fully expecting to get stuck but it just soldiered on through. We have around 13000 on our b and 7000 miles on our a and have no problems to report from our mods.

Ok thanks I'm still figuring out what suspension setup to get. Maybe the Tanabe Sustec Pro S-0C Type II kit are okay even though they're pricey. If I get this job at Bobcat I might be able to affort it. It would be my first mod.

If you're looking at coilovers, I believe you can adjust them so they'll ride at normal height for the winter.
