Has anybody ketp their pro-kits on for winter? Experienced any problems? Do you put the stock springs back on?

You shouldn't have any issues at all. Just have to clear any ice/snow build up in the wheel wells. Do you have snow tires?

I think he is asking for a deal on winter tires. I think he already has the pro kit. ;)

Nobody in their right mind would swap springs twice a year for the seasons. If your suspension is adjustable, then you might consider a change, but not with springs. If you put on something too low for snow then you just don't drive in snow. Prokits aren't too low though. You'll be fine.

You got me all excited !!! I thought I was gonna save an extra 30 bucks today. Now to make up for your fault, you must pay the difference! :)

On Topic: Has anyone had problems with using the stock jack that comes with the car after pro-kits? I mean, is it too low?

not sure about the stock jack....but i wouldn't think so....but after my pro kits, both shops ive been to since have to use a jack to lift up the car a few inches for the arms of the hydraulic lift to fit underneath.

I got my pro kits installed yesterday and took my stock jack out for the first time (i have a better one in my garage). Fits with no problems at all. The jack our cars come with are pretty low pro.

I used the Pro-kits last winter, only problem I found was the build up between the wheel wells and tires, basically just carried a paint-stirrer in the car to clear the snow from there, otherwise everything was a-okay.
