Howdy!

I was wondering what people's opinions are on the stage one springs from Mopar. Seeing as how I live in the Great White North, I'm particularly curious as to how my SRT-4 will respond to deeper snow if I fitted it with these springs...

 

i wouldnt drive your srt in heavy snow... light snow maybe but it could get dangerous. this car in the rain gets a bit squirlie.

 

I'm not worried about drivin' my SRT in the snow since I already have this year. With the Blizzaks on, I could plow through anything. What I'm worried about is how it will be if the car is lowered with the Mopar springs.

 

I am not exactlly sure on the highth, but if the snow is higher than your front air dam, you are not goin anwhere, or shouldn't.

 

Dude, I got a neon with Eibachs. I live in michigan by the lakes where we get lots of snow, so I have a pretty good idea of how it will handle the snow lowered. I probably sit about 3.5-4 inches of ground clearance and with my stock tires and I plow through almost everything. I plowed through a parking lot with probably about 10 inches of snow. Now, if I had stopped I know I would have gotten stuck, but as long as I had it moving I had no problem pushing through the snow. I did get stuck one time and I was in my friends driveway. There was probably about 8 inches of wet snow and I drove my car right into it and got it stuck up on the snow. I tried to rock it loose, but couldn't break it loose. My friends pushed me and got me going again. Other then that I haven't had much trouble with it driving in the snow. Basically like it was before I lowered it. I say lower it, especially if you have blizzaks.

 

If you are used to driving in the snow it shouldnt be a problem.

 

Stage 1 springs are supposed to lower the car 1" front and back.

 

Thanks for the input everyone!

I think I'll go ahead and get those springs (maybe I'll get the dealer to throw the anti-roll bars on too while I'm there). Do the springs make a huge difference in the handling, or are they more or less for looks?

 

they do look really good lowered but its all in what you wanna do.....

 

Yeah, they will help slightly in your handling. If you want a lot better handling I highly recommend getting some sort of sway bar setup. Sway bars will make a much bigger difference then lowering. Lowering will help looks and slight improvement handling though.
