Yeah, see this is the problem. Even with the 6 inches of snow we had last week all I heard was the tires rubbing on the packed ice and snow and turning was difficult. It was NOT this bad last year when I didn't have the mudguards. I can only imagine it will be worse when I lower the car.

forget the wheelwells, once you lower it you'll see the front of your car become a snowplow. the snow will pack up nicely in the lower part of your engine bay......

Nice...lol

you're always there thinking positively. LOL

Matt or Ryan..any problems with your car lowered and it turning into a mini snowplow? I was scooping snow anyway, I'm not sure how much another 1.5 inches is really going to matter.
