Will I get stuck in the snow?

2005 Accord Coupe v6

I live in a winter state and I want to install stech will I get stuck in the snow when it comes? My friends that know a lot about cars say that I won't because he drove his dropped car without any problems during the winter. I really don't want to spend so much money on coilover just to drop my car cuz I'm not rich. Should I get install the stech and hope for the best when winter comes?

The only problem I've had is when my tires were so bare that I got stuck on a slight grade for a day. Other than that, my '92 Accord was lowered about 3.5" and I never had a problem with it getting stuck in the snow. I guess it might depend on where you live and how much snow you actually get. Here in KS it varies from 0 to a couple inches. If you live in a rural area where they don't plow the roads and you get big drifts of snow then I guess there might be a problem. Otherwise, depending on what kind of car you have, what size and type of rims you have, and how low your car is...you should be fine. I plan on getting the S.Tech's too, but we don't get a whole lot of snow around here too often. Hope this helps...
