Default Suspension drop, AWD, snow

I'm thinking of picking up the Road Magnet springs for the AWD and was wondering if anyone has any experience with a suspension drop in the snow?

My thoughts are: I'm sure it will start plowing in any snow more than 4-5 inches with the drop but would the traction be that much different even if it wasn't dropped? Would traction be worse in < 4 inches because of less wheel well space for the snow to be thrown?

Or, get coilovers, and adjust your height depending on what season you're in. Adjust higher for winter, then slam it for summer. Just my 0.02
