hey everyone. i recently just got a gsr, and its lowered, and some people have told me not to borther raising it, just for the winter. because it costs to much money. i go to school in london ontario , and drive back and fourth to mississauga.. so the winters arent so bad.. should I raise it or not?

 

that is a good question. I am wondering the same thing.

 

im in Minnesota, i was "slammed" 3 1/2 inches but i raised up for the winter, i dont like diging my car out of snow, but i say if yall get snow which you do, but not alot in your area then dont bother.

 

ON snows a lot, right?
I would say.. raise up to only 1~1.25 inch.. you should be alright

 

Same situation here, lowered 2" and have to drive it in the winter for the first time. At least I have a garage and my '97 stock rims and tires have 3k on them. Never should have sold my winter beater but oh well.

Either way not looking forward to pulling the 17's off and battling the snow in NY.

 

here in seattle it doesnt snow too often, but hell, we had 6 inches of snow on the road a couple days last winter, and i still took my car to work. Plowing the snow wasnt that big of a problem, trying to keep from slipping off the road was...

 

it'd help to know by how much you're lowered.

 

I also live in mississauga, (a suburb 10 min west of Toronto for all you americans), I dropped my car on koni's and H&R sports :thumbup: ...even if I could, theres no way I'd raise it for the winter..what for? We only have about 2 or so "real" snow days a year anyway, the rest of the time the roads are perfect. Simply take it easy or don't go out if we get a huge snow storm, and you'll be fine...Besides, last winter wasn't even really a winter, and apparently this year its not going to get colder than -5 Celcius.. so I wouldn't worry about it.

PS: however, winter tires are a must if you got z-rated low profiles on now.

BTW you drive back and forth from london to sauga??? on a daily basis? sh#t thats 3+ hours one way! Maybe you should consider moving..lol,

 

its only 160kms from mississauga to london.. its not that bad..its only on the weekend too.. but i think I;m just going to get some good set of winters and deal with the snow when it happens or just take the bus.. thanks for the posts everyone..
