I was thinking about getting a bodykit this summer before I get my paint job.. anyway, im in toronto, and its not as bad here as many of you would think, but we do have our snow days, and i was wondering if any of you guys have a bodykit and drive in the snow, is the ground clearance enough? or will i end up plowing snow?!

If you're on stock suspension, you'll be fine.

Besides, they PLOW streets....so use your best judgement and don't go offroading where they don't plow.

I had a eibach's with the erebuni front last winter...
only 1 accident, and nothing even happened

it was about a 3 inch clearance, and the only thing I hit was some snow ball or something in the middle of the lane...i was speeding.

anyways, if you plan on driving out of your area...might want to forget it

I'm lowered about 2" with a combat front bumper and 404 style sideskirts. As long as you stay on the plowed roads u are fine. Aleast I was. Worst part by far is all the crap they put one the roads. chemicals suck... but the rocks. oh those damned rocks. Especially on the freeway with trucks. Good thing my kit isn't painted yet.
