Cold weather and shock longevity
Coming from other platforms and having dealt with firm aftermarket shocks, it's generally advised to be SUPER careful in the cold (below freezing) to avoid blowing out performance aftermarket shocks.
1LE is pretty firm from the factory, and I can tell that the shocks get even firmer in the cold. Does it mean that I should treat 1LE shocks like performance aftermarket shocks and be super careful driving over the bumps in the cold? Last edited by Electric; 12-26-2014 at 12:29 PM. |

He meant "longevity" more spelling police on patrol.

So far as big bumps go, I know where they are and avoid them. In the cold, I'm more careful with the tires, so in turn that will be easier on the shocks. I don't remember reading anything concerning the shocks in cold weather, and I'm to lazy at the moment to look it up!

I think you will be alright. Remember, this is a mass production based car meant to handle a wide range of temps.
