Welcome TVN,

There's been a few cases where the dealer claimed lowering voided a part of the warranty, I'm pretty sure they have to prove that lowering caused problems. There's a ton of users who have lowered their cars with no issues with their warranties.

H&R springs seem to be the springs of choice.

As for the stereo...you have to be more specific...there's plenty of threads regarding stereos. Try searching to forums.

You will only loose the warranty on the suspension set up, which is fair enough, if you buy a home theatre system comprising of Plasma, projector, surround processor, power amp, dvd player and speakers from say Meridian Audio and you changed the dvd player in that system for a Sony, you wouldn't expect Meridian to warranty it, so why do people think cars are any different??

I see this come up alot, and I just don't get it at all, or am I missing something??


Welcome tvn btw??
