  • Raise/No Raise?

    I see a couple of threads here and there about people with coils raising their cars for the winter and while I was at Tunedub today there was some discussion about this. Informal poll, raise? no raise? Seems a giant ass pain what with the alignment and all...

    I never raise the car for the winter. Sometimes I guess it would be nice but I have yet to damage my spoiler or oilpan (knock on wood!!!!)

          Swapped in the winters on Sunday. Debated on whether to raise. Decided to leave it when I couldn't find the wrenches. Where did I put them?

                    Ok, I guess I'll go against the grain...I raised mine last week. A little piece of my heart breaks every time I scrape. So yeah it went up a bit.

                        cleaning the streets as well. I have always driven lowered cars in the winter, just need to watch out for ice blocks

                            no kidding eh, my street ices over quite bad every year and we get a solid ice raised section in the middle, at stock height with my evo skid plate on the plate drags the whole way down the street, can't imagine not having a skid plate on.

                              No raise for me as well, I pretty much just drive up and down Macleod so usually not too bad, well so far anyway.
