Is it a huge problem to leave your lowered springs on for the winter???

Not at all, especially if u live in Toronto, where for the most part, snow removal is done promptly. I ran S-techs in the winter without any issues, so if you got Pro-kits, you have nothing to worry about.

No problems keeping the prokits in winter.
but if you're determined to do it, am I too late for the street performance circle jerk?

Ran on prokits the last two winters and this coming one is no different. As mentioned before, just get some winter tires on and you should be fine. If there is heavy snow, I pretty much stay to the right and could care less about everyone else.

hey i'm thinking of getting s-techs for my mazda do you think i need to get a camber kit and new struts or just leave everything stock and just do the springs?

I ran S-techs without camber kits for a while with no noticeable camber wear. I was right on the line for stock specs though.
As for struts, I was using KYB GR2s, which are basically OEM replacements.

IMO, swapping springs out for winter and then putting them back on in spring is a waste of money.
You should just save the $$ and get coilovers instead.

such a mild drop for the pro-kits...shouldn't be a problem right?

Would u guys agree that the tires get worn faster if the car is lowered? i'm not sure if it's due to bad alignment but the 912s i have on seems to get worn faster after i installed the prokits...
