[FR-Shred]

I know theres hundreds of these types of threads but I couldn't find an exact answer I was looking for. I searched and searched.

I live in Colorado, it does snow here but in the Denver area its never too bad unless you are out when its pouring, they are good at clearing the roads, they don't use salt, and its not terrible (maybe 2-3times a year its bad, since I've been here, 2 winters)

I enjoy the handling characteristics of the FRS, I like to drive "hard" and in the mountains in the summer but this is also my daily driver. I have never tracked my car but its something I plan on doing, sparingly, with this car now.

I want to lower my FRS. I am just worried about having a lowered car in snow.
So I thought I could just get a lower priced set of coilovers so I can prop the car up in the winter, get a little more clearance, and then lower it (about 1.5" I think) in the summer. Doing my research I found that lower priced < $1000 coilovers are not good and that a set of springs will do me better than a cheaper set of coilovers.

I don't mind running springs but I am worried about winters.
So then I found the Ground Control "coilovers" which is just a spring and then has a slip cover for height adjustability over the stock strut. I have found almost NO reviews or insight on this so I am a little wary about it.


So here is the few things I have bookmarked and you let me know how far I am off the wagon. Let me know what you think about the winter set up (coilover/spring/adjustable spring) and then what product would be best.

These are some of the products I was thinking depending on which way I went..
if I was going Coilovers:
ISC N1 w/ Street Sport set up
Tein Street Basis
Megan Racing Street
Top Speed Pro 1 Coilovers

if I was going Springs:
Eibach Sportline
Tein STech
Ground Control Coilover Springs
