Would it be bad to drive a lowered civic in the winter time? i live in northern illinois and we get some snow in the winter.

 

i cant imagine its too bad. i drove a car with a body kit all winter in maine. if your carefull going into driveways it will be ok.

 

very VERY bad. not only to u risk chipping away at ur body due to ice and stuff u miss thats covered in snow. but the main thing that noone seems to realize is the bad part of winter..


ok...snow is water..and water, does very little to a non rusted car. so coments around winter and snow..should not be...is winter and SALT. Salt, boy and girls, eats away at your clear coat on ur pain, the metal on your car thats not stainless steal. and is overal bad for your car. so if ur car is drivin during the winter..and its lowerd and has expensive stuff done to it that im sure you would like to keep in good condition, your going to get salt all over it. so if ou would like to wash your car and underbody and motor 3 or 4 times a week to keep the salt from drying..go right ahead

 

some people like me, cant afford to buy a another car for the winter since i am still saving up to pay off my civic.also i have to drive it everyday to school, I just lowerd my car about 1.6" but it has stock body, i have read that it will be fine to drive in the snow,since it is not that low, i live in Ontario,Canada and we get it pretty bad sometimes. For the winter make sure you get it rust proofed to make it stay looking good and give it a wax before winter also, if you want u can also take some of your aftermarket things off like me and put the stocks on, taking of my halo headlights and my exhust to keep them looking good in the spring, but you shouldent have any problem with drving it as long as its not to low, mabey you have to take 1 or 2 sick days if its really bad outside but it should be fine...oh ya, and rust dosent just happen in the winter, i no this guy who drives a 01 or 02 integra (i forget what year) and it has only seen summer, we put a body kit on it this year and when we took the bumbers off, there was TUNS of rust on the bumper (the metal part atached to the car ) it was rusted right through, we had to actually cut part of it off, and also under the car and the kick panels were just coverd in rust, i have a 2000 civic and it has been driving in the winter every year, there is no rust under the car, no rust on the kick panels, only little little little rust on the bumber metel things and the suspension parts nun anywear else, rust proof! it really works even if u dont drive it in the winter

 

just wait till the roads are plowed good

 

lol thats when they spread the salt.......DCA i drive in the snow here in jersey....i make sure i park it in the sun so the snow melts from the wheel wells........i clean the rims daily and wash and wax when streets are dry.
