    Smile Lowering it or not....?

    Is it smart to lower your car right before winter? or just wait it out? I know some people that raise this car back up for winter cus it either ruins they bumpers or just simply get stuck in the snow all the time. had my mazda 3 hatch 2012 for half a year now, and really pisses me off to see that wheel gap.

    Im gonna wait it out. Thought of getting some corksport springs because they're inexpensive but with the winter coming its best to just use the 6-7 months to save up for some nice koni struts and eibach kits. Maybe even bag it.

    May as well wait at this point in time.

    I'm down 2.5" on coils and have no intention to raise it anymore in the winter.

    I might actually try and lower some more. But I don't think I can

    Just wait till spring. It'll be a much more satisfying transformation

    And it will allow you to adjust your driving habits before there is snow.
