    hmm okay i might just do this instead cuz its not that hard and all wouldn't take more than an hour..

    1st- install the suspension no front sway.. i don't drive hard enough for it to rub :P
    2nd- remove pwzo front piece (takes 10 minutes)
    3rd- remove pwzo grill
    4th- install stock lower black valence and stock grill
    5th- wax the shiz outta my car and wheels
    6th- if snow is too crappy buy some 17" winters for the LBs

    i think this is whats gonna go down.. !!! muahahahahahhahahahaha

    btw guys enjoy the long weekend..

        Do it. Last year it didn't really snow much till like December. BUT, when it did snow, Rocky Ridge was a freaking nightmare. I was driving my mk2 Jetta with three times the ground clearance and I was still plowing along the ridge.

        BTW, let us know how the install goes. I'm curious for when I put mine on

                    IMO. Get your car stuck in the snow isn’t fun at all but good snow tires always help.

                    The reality thing is that winter will come every year. So, that make no difference with lowering the car now or next year. Get your car a set of coilovers that will return the 4 by 4 stock height will solve the problems.

                    What springs are you going to put?

                      Do coilovers actually return the care to the original height? I assumed that it wasn't quite original height. If I am wrong, then that's a good thing.

                          The original height is too high anyhow... plenty of cars are lower when stock. I don't think in the Calgary winters it will be a problem.

                            yea kris thats what i'm thinking.. you gotta remember that BMWs and audis come stock with a ride height of like 2finger gap all around well forget about the quattro advantage but i've seen people rolling thier stock bmw 17's and they were fine.. plus the roads I take are gonna be plowed all the time anyways.. never had an issue last year with the beater..

                              Do it Ryan. Winter comes every year. What diff does it make? This year, next year. In the end you will plow when there is snow. Even cars at stock heights will plow.
