Lower it?
Hey I just got some 17's and I was wondering if I should lower. I live in MA and it does snow a lot so I can't decide.
Heres my car so far.

looks like you should...
but i haven't lowered mine due to too many months of snow and too few dollars being put into road repair. i'd destroy my bumper in no time.

yea it does. If you got bags you could raise it back up in the winter.

/\ no it doesnt. Bags freeze in the winter and die. If you want to replace all the bags and lines in the spring it might make sense.

I dont drive in the winter but, I have never had any issues. They have always aired up and deflated fine. It might depend on what product you buy.

Same here. Poor road repair and we get a ton of snow. Plus I have stopped doing anything to the car now.

Yes, lower it. It'll be fine driving in the snow. I've been through 3 western NY winters with my lowered Alero and I've never gotten stuck or broken a bumper.

Just do it...I lived in PA for years with my car lowered and PA is the land of terrible roads...anybody that lives there can testify. I never had any issues in the winter time. I also never tore up a bumper either and it had a body kit on it as well.
