looks like sombody takes good care of their vehicle

Here be my winter setup

- Eibach coilovers: Rear all the way up, front most of the way up.
- Studded Tires on stock wheels
- Torsen LSD

And if you're wondering about the grill and bumper damage, I hit a deer a couple weeks ago. Liability only insurance, so I have to fix it on my own.

MichSVT · 12-07-2009, 10:21 PM

^^ no rear wiper in the winter?
How is the LSD in the snow?

***MisterJohnson*** · 12-07-2009, 10:36 PM

I almost never use the rear wiper. I can just dump water on it if I need to.
And the LSD works great, I took it out today on a hilly un-plowed road up to 6" deep with slushy snow and it struggled a little a couple times, but it never stopped or got stuck. I have to pay attention as it tends to jerk around a little trying to get the best traction, but it a million times better than stock.
I definitely recommend getting an LSD if you live in snow country

Four of these: Gislaved Nordfrost 3

They're made by a Swedish company that was bought out by Continental. Mounted on the stock 16's.

Can't really see but my winter setup is my stock 5 spokes with Dunlop Graspics. Managed to get them on Sat afternoon after work a couple hrs before the snow began to fall lol. This is the first year of 3 i believe that I put my winter setup on before xmas.
