one word of advice...do not go drifting in ice.....had a buddy dive into a parking lot to go drifting in his wrx not knowing it was ice and ruined his front control arm...needles to say it was only a 40$ part but hes lucky i told him to stop so he didn't ruin anything else......anyway never ever gotten stuck in the snow with the evo plowed through a field that my friend in his f250 got kinda stuck in (i guess too much weight=sinkage in muddy snowy field lol)

Yea I'm in WNY, you'll be fine. You should get some decent winter tires to enjoy the weather around here. Its not too low at all on stock suspension unless youre dropped really low, obviously you need to use your head when dealing with elevation changes into and out of places but just drive with some sense.
Were you at a delta sonic today, and does your car have some graffic(jaw-ish looking) on the bacK window?
Someone mentioned they saw "your car" out to me.
PM me. Welcome

Two Utah people that don't post in the Evo's in Utah thread... Figures... We scare people away. Anyway, I drove my Evo with snow tires for the first two years, it was insane. Then drove it with all-seasons the last year, still did great (definitely no body damage from the snow). Now my Porsche proudly plows the driveway. All you need is snow tires and a keen sense to avoid large chunks of ice (which would probably damage your SUV too) and you'll be 100% AoK.

Cheap Winter Tires and Stock Height = No Problem
I'm in MA and we've been slammed pretty good this year with snow. My car was lowered and it sucked cause i was hitting chunks of snow left and right; plus fkn potholes! so i put the stock springs back in and it's been great since then. so stock height is no problem, and any winter tire should work. I bought the cheapest snow tires i could find and they work great; General Arctics or something like that.
Good find on that evo, that's a rarity to find an unmodified one!
