Absolutly, the waranty on your suspension components will be void. Still do it anyways its worth it. The car looks like a 4x4 with rims not dropped.

yes please drop your car. don't go around monster-trucking like me




It's almost 4 years and my warrantees are slowly disintegrating. After all that **** expires I'm dropping, tinting, and maybe doing some engine work.

and oh... I also didn't lower my car from the beginning because my area and the places i go have crap for roads.

There's a dip just passed the top of this hill on the highway I take to school. Garaunteed scrape if I'm going over 40mph, with STOCK suspension. Can't slow down because the people behind me won't see me slowing down. Think about this stuff too

it will only void the warrenty if they conclude that the problem was caused by the coilovers or lowering springs. but just know they will try to prove that part was the cause so you will have to fight it or be tough with them
