    just to be safe i brought my coils back up... i'm in NH and it snows REALLY rough around here... and cause sometimes i have to get a rolling start to get up some steep inclines lol so it saves my bumper a little

              If you don't want to raise your car up in a region that gets snow, then enjoy your honda-made snowplow.

                      When you raise your car, make sure you coat your threads in anti-seize, because that will protect them. Some coils are made of aluminum, which will corrode with the road salt and they will cause the coilover to lock up so you can't adjust the coils. It happened to my friend. He had gone through a winter with his car down, and one day he wanted to raise it up a little as he was sick of being so low and he couldn't because his coils locked up.

                          I don't raise mine at all. At least 2+ all around. Plowing snow is fun. Besides, there are only say 5 days when you actually have to drive in the snow every year. it's not worth it to be riding 4x4 for the entire winter, just because of a little snow.

                            i had my car dropped + body kit and i NEVER had a problem "plowing snow" if there is enough snow where you are actually "plowing" it with your front bumper. then thats gonna be the least of you problems. your tires are just gonna spin no matter what
