Suspension Springs and My Warranty

Hello Everyone,

I have a MCS DS/W on order with the Sport Suspension and as I look at the pictures of various R56's I see a rather large wheel gap. It doesn't bother me that much now (I don't even have the car yet) but it might in the future.

I have already seen many cars on here with the H&R Springs and the M7 Springs (they look great by the way) and I was wondering the problems that might occur while lowering the car.

I would like to keep my warranty in-tact as long as possible and my MA said that any modification would void the warranty if they could trace the problem back to it.

Here is the question: who has had problems with there warranty by putting springs on their car? What should I look out for?

Thanks for your help!

From what I know, lowering springs can only void anything directly affected by the springs. This pretty much means your suspension, including strut towers mushrooming.

But if your engine fails, or trim is falling off, you're golden. Don't expect any free suspension fixes though!
