Have a vehicle you can use for winter Nate? If so, grab a RWD V8 car, you'll never regret it.

I think there's 2 that do on SVTPerformance. One lives down in kentucky and doesn't see the usual amounts of snow we do. Not sure on the other.

Feather the clutch and put on a very good set of winter tires and you'll probably get around most of the winter, but you're not gonna move on icy roads, especially if there's any kind of incline. When there's actually snow on the roads, you shouldn't have a problem because the tires will grip the snow.

People always bitch about RWD and winter. My M3 was on cording, yes cording tires and I somehow made it through. Wouldn't suggest doing so though. Skinny winter tires and you're set. Plus, how often does it snow while you're on the roads, half the time they're clear anyways.

My RWD '12 Charger R/T isn't that bad in the snow... I didn't take it out on Sunday when we had all that snow. But it's been able to truck through just about everything else so far. Obviously I have the option of taking our old '96 Jimmy out on the real bad days, so I avoid taking the charger. But all in all, it's not THAT bad.

It's all about how you drive. 4x4, winter tires and whatever option you have to help your winter driving doesn't matter if you're riding someone's butt or acting stupid. I've driven with drag slicks in the winter and it's not fun but if you don't act like a jackass when given the slightest bit of dry or clear pavement then everyone is fine. Us Michigan drivers think we're invincible though. haha

Anyone know a good place to get lowering springs installed? I have no access to air tools and it seems a few bolts are seized up.

That'd be awesome, I'm not sure if I should wait until it warms up a bit or not, though.
