Dopes anybody have pics of their svt with 18's but not lowered? In my area the winter is nearing and i will be going to school in about a month (i wont be driving it a whole lot), so what should i do? Can i lower it and get away with it in the michigan winters (with focus wheels and all season tires), or should i just wait until next spring. The reason i am asking is because i would like to avoid putting the new springs on and having to take them off in just a few months. Thanks a lot in advance....Scott 98.5 svt 18 rs-5, yoko parada, B&M short shift, 2 10in jl audio subs, Poineer??,ppi, poor man's kkm, no res, painted gilles and oval,NO TINT!?
