Now I just gotta get the snow tires on the BRZ and the cars will be all set for a New England winter.

Do you live somewhere nice and warm??
The summer suspension on the sti is low enough than any mount of snow could beach the car lol.

no adjustable coilovers? Or is that what you meant. And those are my favorite scooby wheels by far.

I always said I would do this on my wrx and swap out the suspension, but in the end didn't bother. Just swapped on the snow tires and wheels. I envy your work ethic.

I just put the Speed3 in winter mode last weekend. Tires changed out, fluids changed out, shovel, brush, scraper, -45c de-icer tossed into the hatch. Car is ready to go!
We just got hit with snow and freezing rain last night too. Makes a huge difference having the right tires for conditions. Glad to see another Oppo taking tires seriously. Tread looks like X-Ice, is that right?

I live in NH sooooo no where near warm.
My corolla got beached on flat pavement.
My other corolla did the same.
My Jetta would beach itself on leaves.
I burnt the lawn with one of my RX-7s
None of my cars have been practical for snow, this year is no different.

Every suspension setup I've found so far lowers the car. Even on coilovers at their highest setting. Nothing brings it high like the stock setup. Especially with a larger tire.

Damn, I was wrong....
I run Blizzaks WS-70's on the Speed3. They work well, should do the BRZ well.

Winterizing my car consists of aiming the heater vents at the steering wheel making sure the anti-freeze level is up to snuff, lol. Oh, and an old cassette tape as a frost/ice scraper.
