Snow and your lowered s4
want to take my s4 to the snow but not sure how well it will do in the snow being lowered. Anyone have any problems? funny stories? Ihave about a 1" gap from the top of the stocks to the wheel well.

My car(s) have been lowered for the last 6 winters..
and we're talking about CO winters, so feet of snow at a time at some points....
no problems, other than running over the occasional ice chunk, though the S doesn't go out anymore in conditions like that..

I've had problems and mine wasn't even lowered...
Last winter there was about 2-3 inches of hard pack snow/ice that came down here in Northern VA. I cleared it off my car which was parked at my parents house, then went to work, drove home after and parked in my parking spot at the apartment and the entire lot was covered in the 2-3 inches of hard stuff. So the next morning, the plow people had been through and gotten the hard pack snow/ice off the main parking lot area but obviously not off the spots that had cars parked in them. When I backed my car out of the spot, when my front tires came off the "lip" of the hard pack that my car was parked on, and dropped the 2-3 inches, I heard a crunch, got out of the car, and the bottom left corner of my bumper was cracked. Not bad enough that I really need a new one, but still it was the first real cosmetic blemish on my car and still bugs me.

its not really the amount of snow, but it just refreezes into hard ice/snow
its extra crappy after the snowplows push it up into a big mountain right infront of your car
