Default **Winter Mode Poll **(Trifecta Post ;P)

Just wonderin' what you guys switch over to, to get into winter mode????

Here's mine:
1. Winter Wheels/Tires
2. Stock Blades
3. AudiSport License Plate Frame
4. A4 OEM Ribbed Mats
5. 2" Raise

I know, it's in my sig, but who else.
I believe Avanteix is da winna here

Default just put your snows on, and leave your coilovers alone

also consider the fact, once you salt those strut bodies, the lock rings can become frozen. happend to me two winters ago. I would just leave them alone. Plus, if you crank them up 2", you're gonna add more preload to the spring.

I ended up removing the front left coilover and carfully cutting the lock ring with a dremel and replacing it.

Default Good advice. Unless the car is slammed, I wouldn't touch the coilovers.

That said, driving a lowered car with stiff suspension in winter must be hellish.
