Strut Alignment Reinforcement System - warranty
Hello:
I recently purchased a 2013 R58 JCW. I am wondering about installing Cravenspeed's Strut Alignment Reinforcement System. http://www.cravenspeed.com/strut-ali...cement-system/ The roads are abominable here in NYC. I will replace runflats after I use them up a bit more (only 12k on car now). 1. Does anyone have experience with these? 2. If yes, do you know how it impact the manufactruer's warranty. I haven't find/gotten a satisfactory answer on this issue. Thanks, gary https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...a8284ab6fb.jpg |
If something breaks and the Cravenspeed strut reinforcements were a direct cause, you would likely be responsible for handling the repair costs.
Otherwise your warranty will be fully intact. They can't deny a warranty claim where an unrelated component failed. |
Thanks Zillon!! That's what a dealership person essentially said. OTH I teach evaluation including experimental design and clearly demonstrating causality is is a murky endeavor.
Hopefully someone will have more direct experience with this. Regards, gary |
Look up Magnusson Moss warranty act. Dealers by law cannot deny warranty coverage just for having aftermarket parts, if those parts did not cause the failure. Having coilovers will not mean that the dealer can refuse warranty work on a leaking turbo oil line or something totally unrelated.

I'd just go with the strut tower defenders. You really don't need the whole kit and save a few bucks. You can install them yourself easy peasy. Remove the nuts lay the plate down over and torque to 25#.

I am planning to do that - just staging the $$$$. Plus I don't have any place to store an extra set - the potholes are larger than the storage space I have here. Sick lower Manhattan fact. About a year ago, a building in my neighborhood was selling parking spaces . . . . for $1,000,000.00 each. gary |
