Driving a lowered car in the snow
Is a 95 Z28 with either the BMR or Eibach Prokit and stock rims driveable in the winter? I want to get them, but I'm not sure if my car will be a snowplow in the winter. It's only about an inch, but you never know. Thanks for any input.
I have the Pro-kit and my car is a year-round driver. I drive in Germany and we see enough snow!
Here is a pic with the snow tires!

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Did you say drive lowered and snow in the same sentence???????
I couldn't even get the thing to move stock hieght a couple times, really sucks when you're miles from work and have to walk because your car is stuck. It did exactly what you said....plowed the snow up until it couldn't push it anymore and effectively made a big wall.
Alot of it will depend where you spend your winters, if it's the North, they should have the equipment to keep the roads fairly clear and it shouldn't be an issue, I'm in the midwest and they can't keep up with the snow at least a couple times a year and I can't drive my car, had to get a second one.....just use good judgement, you should know if you've already spent a winter there.

When I drive my Camaro into work, the guys here all call it the snowplow...with enough drop, and enough speed, you could effectively drive better in the snow than any SUV or truck on the road...
The front end totally supports this type of behavior..LOL!

I had to stop traffic and let my car roll down a hill backwards because it was too icy to make it up. There was a gravel road I backed into and let the car sit overnight. The next morning it had snowed about 5" and I couldn't get the car to move. I have summer tires and a 2" drop because I dont drive the car in the winter except for the special occasion. I had my ma tow me up the hill with the van and I ended up flinging around into the ditch and called the tow truck.
All this because of my summer tires and 2" drop.
