Lower it?

[AtomicX]

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.

[cherrington17]

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.

afraid of snow get bags?

[alerored04]

/\ that doesnt make any sense. Dude dont worry about being lowered in the snow. Its fine.

[jayson_waltz]

get eibach if your worried about snow, they only lower it about 1.1" i'm pretty sure.

[jayson_waltz]

/\ that doesnt make any sense.

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

[alerored04]

/\ 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.

[alerored04]

really? I had heard they would terminate quickly in subzero temps.

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

[Spilner521]

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.

[volfenhag_alero]

Bag It!!!!!!!!

[adam337]

tractors have airbag suspension..

[alerored04]

tractors have no suspension. Semi's have air ride. Please ignore my stupid comments then, i stand corrected.

[doubleN0alero]

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.

[AtomicX]

Would I be best off buying lowering springs?

[doubleN0alero]

yeah, more than likely...much cheaper

[Fi-Alero]

I live in North Louisiana. I want to lower my car so bad, but even at the stock height, it still drags bottom alot and the scrapeguard gets hit alot. The roads here are horrible, and so are the drop offs at alot of places.

[Spilner521]

The roads everywhere are horrible. Just be conscience of where you're driving and what you're driving over and you'll be completely fine with a lowered car.

[Jferg2223]

I dont drive my ho in snow just because i have the luxury of a chevy k1500 blazer.

[ares89]

I testify on the fact that PA roads blow like no other. Idiots dont know how to build roads to last, or fix them. I had tar all over my car because the asses lack the ability to tamp down patches. But yes, he says it can be done in PA, it can be done anywhere.

I got 225/45/17 tires, how much of a lower should I get?
