    I agree. The day after I slammed my probe, it snowed almost a foot, and I had to be at work at 4am. I plowed the roads with the front lip not even 4" off the ground. I made heavy duty 1/8" steel mounting brackets for the lip, and it worked flawlessly!

    The 2nd gen eibach springs are just soft enough to work. Narrow is the key to cutting through the slush and **** for some grip.

      uggggh I hated the Eibachs on my PGT so much.

      I have 185/60-15 snow tires on the car right now. I dunno, I never had a problem with my H&Rs on the turbo GT or MX3, but they weren't as low as this thing is. Maybe I should back off the strut valving a little and see if that makes a difference.

        Yep, soften that bitch up a little bit and it'll be fine.

        I'm finding the MX6 is a beast if you can stomach the absolutely horrendous noises that are coming from the ice chunks slamming the bumper (I have about... 2.5" of clearance from bumper to ground) and scraping the floor/frame all the way down.

          I'll give that a try, I've been trying to stay out of boost anyway so torque steer is less of an issue right now.
