Sway Bars, strut bars and the warranty...

If I put an upper front strut bar, lower rear tie and the RSX-S Sway Bar on, is Honda going to complain about the warranty? I really can't see it breaking anything, but I have no idea what Honda will say. Has anyone gotten crap about adding bars? I searched and came up empty.

You won't have any problems with the strut and tie bars, but they might hassle you for the sway bar as that requires some mounting... Still it theoretically won't affect warranty components.

Ok... so I shouldn't have any problems... The RSX-S Bar is a swap of my EX bar, and other than that, it's all bolt ons.

I meant worksmanship and the fact that the sway bar affects the suspension *somewhat*.

It really depends on how the dealer is. Some will void suspension warranty on lowering springs, some won't.

When I did my springs/shocks I just said f$ck warranty.

I guess the other thought is... Can they notice 4 mm without looking very closely? If I ever went in there with a suspension problem, obviously I'd pull it, but other than that, I doubt they'd ever notice the extra diameter. I'll call them just to check, but they seem to be cool about stuff like that.
