    Just make sure when you order your GC's that you buy spring lengths that are long enough to let you return to stock height. A lot of the shorter springs that are raised all the way up are still really low!

      Don't hold your breath, though.

          That sounds like r3v material to me.

              Shit, I'd just drive it as is and throw a set of chains in the trunk for the bad places.

                Don't you need to jack up the car to put those chains on? Call me a weenie, but I'd hate to do that in 5 degree weather. :p I'd rather just get a dedicated set of snow tires/wheels.

                    I have Bridgestone RE950 Ptoenzas on the Lex. Decent in the snow, but it also has traction control.

                      Any all-season tires are crap in the snow/ice. You NEED good snow tires for the white stuff. i.e. BS Blizzak's, Nokian Hakka's, etc. For my car, I've got a set of Blizzak WS's and will try some cheap-o Hankook snow tires to see how they do($45/tire). I'll post my reviews.

                        Nah, you can install chains easily without jacking the car up. They're meant to be installed that way.
