Default Pic request of ISF jacked up on coils for Winter

Wondering if any of you guys from the north dealing with winter conditions and are on coils, jack up the threads near the top for more travel through snow. Curious to see if with a coilover setup, the ride height can be a bit higher than even factory height? Reason i'm asking this is next winter i may have to start driving my F during the winter months so just want to get a preview of whats to come lol.

Hey ISFLexy,

I don't have what you're looking for but I'm also in Ontario and I have driven my F through two winters already. I can tell you there was no problem driving stock height.

This year I'm on coils and I found a pretty good solution to maintain the coilovers (learned it from Subaru forum), and that is install coilover socks (I purchased mine from tegiwaimports) + anti-seize the collars.
I'll report back after winter to see how the socks are, but the guy from Subaru is also from Ontario and driven two winters with no issues.

I hope this helps.

When i had coilovers on my old lexus i had a set of similar "socks" made up. The same ones the use on atvs and dirt bikes to protect from dirt and debris. Good idea to keep em clean and protected
