Well, are you doing it just for looks, or performance?

my first car I used coil overs and I went 3.5 inches but scraped my subframe so lifted it back up some. 1.5 is best for performance

don't drop the front more than the rear. the front carries all of the weight to begin with and if you make it lower than the rear the ass end might hop or fishtail, you will lose some of your braking ability, and handling will be worse than stock height

So, if you're lowering it, you shouldn't drive it in the winter. Do you still want to lower it?
