Just reposting this as I'm looking for any advise from someone who may have lowered their 500 and the had to make some sort of suspension/steering warranty claim
Here is my original post from " which lowering springs "
I have a new 1.2 500 on order and would like to get it lowered from day one. Nothing drastic, probably using Apex springs as on Marks car. The dealer is prepared to fit them for me at a very reasonable £60, but made a big point of telling me that it would more than likely invalidate any warranty claims made in connection with steering and suspension. I had hoped that if they had done the fitting , that they would then take a more sympathetic view to any possible claims ( knowing that in reality such a small amount of lowering should have no adverse effect on anything )
Does anyone know if a dealer is obliged when making a warranty claim to Fiat to point out whether or not any mods have been made. My concern is that some problem may arise and they just say we told you so. Would I be better off waiting a month or so just to make sure everything is OK first.
