One inch drop and my warranty.

I was thinking about bringing my 2002 DX down about an inch. Would my stock struts be allright with the new springs since its a modest lowering? Also, does anyone know if this will effect my Honda Care warranty? Thanks.

you lower it and anything with the suspension blows, you pay for it. No warranty covers aftermarket parts or failures as a result of them. If Honda Care is the extended warranty, just get rid of it.
SEARCH, the warranty has been beaten to death.

I had this SAME problem awhile ago and my dad said this: "If you wanna hook your car up might as well forget your warranty, if you want your warranty that bad then stay stock" and of course i voided mine awhile back lol. The only thing that i know of that wont void your warranty is an AEM air intake. I would suggest keeping everything stock you take off of your car, that way if something does go wrong put the stock stuff back onto your car and then bring it to the dealer ship and be like WTF lol. But of course big things like turbo's and such it would be a waste but like springs and stuff like that is easy to uninstall/ reinstall. just a thought for you man, hope it helps..
