Default Tein H in snow country?

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

if u wantedt to in the winter u could add a ruber shild the the very bottome of the frunt bumper and really plow your streets that would be realy funny.... and u could have a frend tied to the back set (for safty reasons) with the back hatch open and he couls be throwing salt on the ground behind u... now how funny would that look..... box blowing the streets....

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
