Lowering and warranty

Hi all.

I could be tempted by the Novitec lowering spring set, but am curious about a couple of things, never having lowered a car before.

1) Does it affect warranty?
2) Will it affect the way the suspension works? I don't want to change the ride, only to make it sit lower.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance... AM

Re: Lowering and warranty

apparently it wont void the whole warrenty but they wouldn't cover problems with other areas of the suspension.

Re: Lowering and warranty

Best to talk to your dealer. The official line is that the parts you fit are not covered (pretty obvious really ) and anything which breaks as a result of them being fitted is not covered. However, I've heard that some dealers take a more relaxed attitude and are not bothered

Re: Lowering and warranty

Mine's so low I had to have a set of pram wheels fitted.

Ride's real bad!
