Hi Everyone,
I'm on the verge of buying a set of coilovers for my car but I wanted to know if it would interfere with any functions for Active Steering or Active Roll Stabilization that comes with the Sports Pkg. I'm pretty sure it doesn't as those systems should be independent of the shock/spring assembly but I just thought I'd get some input. I'm hoping to get some feedback by tomorrow noon if possible.
TIA.

Coilovers should not affect either AS (since it's steering) or ARS (which is an active stabilizer bar system). Here's some info on ARS:
