Lowering the Balt
Okay,
I'm lowering my SS/TC, enough of you have told me that snow isn't a big problem (especially in Colorado), some others suggested a winter car.
My next questions is..
Megan Coilovers
some other coilovers
or
Shocks & Springs w/camber kits
Or
leave it stock for winter issues.
Thanks.

I'd be really worried with coil overs, i was thinking about them myself, i'm in ontario, canada, heavy salt country in the winter. And i've talked to a few people who had them rust through in a year or 2 and fail really bad. So if you do get them make sure there really high quality.

Do not change the stock suspension if you plan on driving the car in more than 6" of snow at a time.
My friend has the same EXACT car as me, with snow tires, but his is lowered (bought it that way) and it isn't nearly as good in the powder as my OEM-equipped suspensioned Cobalt.
His front lip also got ripped off from driving in too much snow, haha.
Do as you please, though...
