i drove mine during the winter with it lowered  you certainly do need to be more careful, things like bigger chunks of snow that you would have cleared before you may way hit after lowering. have you thought about what bars you're going to get? i'm planning to get the H&R bars (forget if bavauto or bmp design has them). believe they're a stronger metal and larger sizes (if memory serves, 28mm front and 18mm rear). __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

Luckily, I've got a decent set of snows and I'm ok at getting myself un-stuck. The ride height during the winter is one of the biggest reasons that I've put off on lowering the car. __________________

If I do anything it will be over the winter. The springs are paid for and I've driven the car on the track with them. It was like the car was on rails. __________________ ...steven
