Well now, that kinda depends on where in Ontario you are. Ontario is a rather large province, with many different weather zones. If you are in the GTA, or any of the larger southern Ontario urban centers, then lowness is really no issue most of the time. If you are rural, in any of the typical snow belts, then sitting nearly 2 inches lower could cause you some grief at times.

MUSKOKA800 who lives in Burlington, lowered on TRD springs, beached himself on a snow ridge left by a plow a few years back. Had to get out the tow hook and get pulled off of it.

Actually after making it the first 25 kilometers during a storm I got hung up on my own street which was still unplowed, which would have been fine with 6-8" of powder snow had the JERK up the street not blown his driveway out onto the road. 10 inches of semi-packed snow beached me 200 yards from home. the tires where 3 inches above the road. Nothing some shoveling and the neighbours 4wd Highlander with tow-rope couldn't resolve.
Fear not! Speed is your friend in the deep stuff.
