Well, 25mm is enough to for me not to dismiss it outright after seeing where he will be driving in the winter -- which isn't just ski resorts, but also their cabin up in Incline. And sure, Incline is better then the City of Reno about plowing the streets, but streets not leading to ski resorts do tend to have to wait a little.
Nick could chime in here, since he's been on Flexs in the Truckee winters. And I don't think he messes with the ride height (probably right about a 25mm drop FWIW) and is stranded many times throughout the season, but stranded in a way where 10mm-15mm more clearance probably won't help either.
For me, its really tough to say either way, but I don't think you can dismiss the snow driving outright unless you've driven a lowered subaru *in Tahoe* since Reno doesn't get comparable snowfall.
Personally, I don't see the reason to buy used parts when perfectly acceptible new parts are available for the same price.
