Yeah Mel, you guys are kind of screwed down there when it comes to winter weather because there's no removal methods available to deal with snow and ice.

Actually that's all we've been able to do up here a lot lately as well because it's been to cold for salt to work.

I can say 25 degrees today feels remarkably warm.

Good afternoon everyone... That cold snap is something else, my mom lives near Toronto and is getting her fair share... In Vancouver it has been about 9 degrees Celcius and no rain, that is very unusual.... I have driven my Monte more this past week than any other time...... Also, just got notification that my Vogtland springs are in, taking a run to Bellingham, WA to get them once I find some time... Can't wait to get them on... For our members in the mid west and east, come on spring...

The snow we are getting now, pretty much white out conditions as I was only able to do 60 kms an hour on the 401 about an hour ago, are coming from Toronto
I used to live in B.C. and I miss it especially this time of year, we lived in North Vancouver and then in Mission. I miss the nice mild winters, and being able to drive up in to the mountains and go skiing

Damien, post some progress pics of the work and after shots of the car when installed. Also, curious as to the reason you went with Vogtland over Canucks since CM is basically right in your backyard.

Sure will... It was a toss up... Got a really good deal for them and the reviews for our cars were good... The rears lower 1.2" and the fronts 1.26"... Can't wait to install them...
