Default a question about a drop

i want to drop the car with 19 inches but i have oem with winter tires for the winter driving. Since my cousin has a drop on his BMW m3, he have been getting stuck with 2inches drop ( cant remember ) but with factory height he can drive on snow like a charm.

U get idea... SHould i drop it.

good reason to save up for coilovers! You can adjust for the seasons

(or do the air )

I'd get coilovers. You can just raise it every season while you put on your winter wheels.

Another vote for coilovers, that way you won't have to compromise during the summer or winter.
