I dunno man. Mine is lowered on s-techs with blizzacks. It plows through everything up to two feet. problem is it all blows on the windshield and you cant see crap! Fun though.

I've had my IX since April 2006... never seen rain or snow. But then again it only has 4700 miles on it and stays in storage. I work 6+ days a week with a 40 minute commute with a lot of stupid drivers. Especially in snow

live in Philly but go to school in upstate NY, and as you can imagine we get PLENTY of snow up here. My car is lowered and sits on RE-01rs so needless to say my grip in the snow is less than stellar. unfortunately being a student and having car payment for the evo does not leave me with very much disposable cash for a DD so its the evo FTW! makes me cringe everytime i hear the salt hitting the exhaust but what choice do i have? drive slow, safe, and not at all when theres excess snow. my biggest concern other than that is finding a place to wash the salt off after a drive...gotta enjoy the car every second i can!

Simple Green Degreaser + Pressure washer + lift = No rust concerns for me.

I do it about every two weeks if it snows and roads get salted.

Nothing doing this winter... as I am back in southwest Asia playing in the sand for 12 months. My 03 EVO is my DD so during the winter months I put the stock Enkei's with the all season socks on that do whatever and I put the Advan RGII's with the Michelin pilots away for 6 months. :-)
