as a side question: how do you like the eibach prokit? (v. stock suspension) ... and since you have winter there, how well does it do in the winter?

your car looks sweet. what are the specs on your wheels?
i had mine over the winter. and it wasnt to bad. just a couple of things to do when driveing in the winter.
0) if there is a chance you will dirve in the snow buy real snow tires allseason will not cut it. i have conti snow/ice and i would argue that they have better traction than my sumitomos summer uhp's. snow tires make all the differance. people who say that car A sucks in the snow because its rwd either dont know how to drive or dont have snow tires.
1) drive like there is always black ice one the road and be ready to recover a slide.
2) never accelerate in a corner in the snow
3) never come into a corner to fast in the snow
4) the trac and snow* should always be on in the snow they are your friends
i have two sets of wheels and tires. my stockers have my snow tires on them, i wish i had the stock 16" they are cheaper. and my gramlights have my summer tires. and sence i rotate them out by season i get way better life out of them. i will probly get at least 3 seasons out of each set, if not more.
also in germany they require winter or allseason tires in the winter there is a big fine if cought on summer tires in the winter in temps below 40deg. f.. and if your in accident in the winter on summer tires it will be your fault 99% of the time.
sorry for thread jacking
