eibach sportlines question

im going to be interested in purchasing these when i get my new car.. when i install these, will they pose a problem in the snow? i live in crappy ny so sometimes it snows pretty bad. im gonna have g85 on it and it will have snow tires for the winter.just wondering if its going to get stuck because of the 2 inch drop.

it shouldn't really make much of a difference... the front bumper is like a snow plow anyways...

Dude your in Buffalo NY, you get so much snow a freeking Hummer H1 would have problems! I've seen snowplows get stuck up there. Hell even snow mobiles have hard times its so bad! You better get the hover conversion for your Cobalt if you plan to drive in your winters.

When I lowered my cavy, it did better in the snow, as more weight went to the wheels, instead of getting supported by the springs. Kinda neat, but I didn't expect that to happen at all.

I've got sports on my balt and it's got an ss/sc bumper!

when the snow gets really deep, its fun to have your own personal snowplow!
