Change Springs for JCW Suspension?

I'm contemplating getting my car a bit lower as the standard .4-.5 drop still shows the big wheel gap.

What do you guys think of changing the JCW springs out with a H&R. Will it cause issues on the suspension side?

I figured it's just springs...possible the warranty would be affected but the suspension itself won't have any issues?

Any thoughts? Thanks

The lower springs (an inch or more) can possibly affect your alignment (usually the front I think) but not everyone's. Of course you can run into some rubs, front bumper scrapes, and hit the bump stops on the dampers too. There's a reason the JCW susp in only .5" lower! Good luck.
