These cars are pretty good in the snow with AWD. but lowering won't help. I drove though a ton of deep snow with mine and the only time I had problems are when ground clearance was an issue. I got hung up trying to break through a small "plow dam" at the end of the driveway and had to break out the shovel.
Main reason I never lowered my car was because I did so much driving in the snow.
It's so much fun blasting through snow at stock ride height with AWD!Originally Posted by Mustang5L5
How much driving through the snow do you plan on doing?These cars are pretty good in the snow with AWD. but lowering won't help.

well i used to drive a mustang in the snow so I'm not worried about the snow i don't care if my car is bad in the snow. i want to lower my car enough just so the wheel gap is gone. I'm planning on getting with 19 or 20 inch wheels on my car soon and i don't think that wheels will look good if the car isn't lowered a little bit to get the wheel gap gone, just my opinion. I still have no idea why you shouldn't lower an AWD car but i trust that these guys know what they are talking about so now I'm kinda scared to lower my car even a little bit. i literally just want that wheel gap gone when i have 19 or 20 inch wheels on the car.

Lowering it too much will cause extremely accelerated wear on the bushings and Cv axle boots. Lowering it a bit will cause premature but not extreme wear on the bushings. Originally Posted by EasySausage

It won't take much to fill the wheel gap, I think you'll be happy with a mild drop, coilovers or springs will work. Camber kit is necessary in rear, compression rod bushings, the rear should be ok bushing wise. You're going to chew through tires. I wouldn't want to chew through 20" tires, screw that!!!
