get coilovers and shocks now...install them but don't drop the car too much yet...that'll keep you busy for now, and no work once the snow's gone! or get a lip for looks...

DC sports makes a header for the D17.

Also, driving in the snow with a lowered car isn't that bad. All three of my past cars have been lowered and as long as you have good tires, it's fine. Keep in mind I've never had any "slammed" cars (usually a 1.5-1.9" drop).

It may not seem bad, but they put gravel on the road when it snows around here and my OEM front lip takes a beating out of it. I would suggest doing what the 2nd poster put. Buy the shocks and springs or coilovers and wait until snow season is over
