I'll let you know lol...seriously, it would have no effect until the snow accumulation is above your minimum height...at which point, your car becomes a snow plow...

btw, I'm hoping my 18" SnowBears will get here before the snow does...

I'm dealing with the same issue. I live in SLC, UT where the snow gets crazy, and i'm putting Sportline Springs on my '06 LT sedan and wondering if i'll find myself in trouble.

snow traction: softer longer springs, more suspension travel (higher) less damping control = more weight transfer.

no sno traction: harder shorter springs, less suspension travel =less weight transfer
