Eibachs + Winter

I need to lower my car, but I cannot afford the crazy prices of $1000 + coilver setups that they sell. I am thinking abou getting the Pro Kit from Eibach, but then the thought of winter and snow came into my mind. Well I live in VT, and it does in fact snow here. I know that the Pro Kit gives about an inch drop, which isn't that bad, and will get rid of the nasty weel well when I have my summer 17"ers on. But if I was to keep the eibachs on for the winter, how is the driving going to be affect? Does an inch drop really make that much of a difference? I doubt that I'll get stuck or anything, but the fender flaps seems like they would scrape the ground or something. Can someone give me tips or advice if you have this setup or know of someone that does. Thanks.

go Tein springs w/ kyb-agx or Gr2's... I have the gr2's, they're cheaper then the agx's, but non adjustable... also, I live in Colorado, and it snows here too, but, I'll tell you, if the snow is gonna stop your car lowered, it would've gotten it stuck at stock height too.. Look at it like, well, if it snows, least you have an excuse not to drive it around when accidents are most likely to occur! But I haven't had any problems with snow yet...
