Re: sum new pics, gettin ready for winter
Shit, nice looking Coupe, but gosh it looks funny when it's lowered on snow tyres, lol.
Yeah, it doesn't snow over here so I don't have to worry about snow tyres on my car

Re: sum new pics, gettin ready for winter
The most important thing is ground clearance. I raised my car back up about 2". Although I was still on my Konis and Ground Controls for that event pic - it's not the best setup.
You want a suspension with alot of travel and to be soft and compliant. Two weeks after that event pic we returned to the same lot and it was ice. I thought my car was going to break. You want the skinniest snow tires you can fit on your car to to dig through the snow. Tires with alot of sipping helps. Also e-brake is your friend  I never did an event like that and learned alot about vehicle control.And yes that is me driving.

fiercecivic - Looks like you are leaking oil from the oil cap. What kind of snow tires do you use? CivicSiRacer - any chance making that picture a little smaller, or at least cropping it down a bit? Nice ride btw

Re: sum new pics, gettin ready for winter
omg lol, running snow tires when not in snow will eat your tires so fast. The rubber that is used in making snow tires is a lot softer than summer or all season tires so they wear really fast

We have one near Frackville (little south of Scranton, PA; little north of Harrisburg/Hershey). Why would it hurt? You have better traction with snow tires than street tires. Actually someone showed up in a Ford Focus SVT with his OEM tires and was stuck.
