Like the entire warranty ? No
If you have suspension issues related to lowering the car ? Possibly . But having quality parts installed correctly it's very unlikely you would have any issues anytime soon. |

Spacers, no.
Lowering, very unlikely - never heard of problems with the usual 25mm to 35mm lowering but some people like to slam the car to the ground. However, if you went for an approved lowering kit or 3rd party like A C Schnitzer you definitely be fine. |

Can't see the future with regards to warranty but if you lower the car *too much* and the axle half shafts are no longer parallel with the ground when the car is stationary this puts extra strain on the CV bearings. This could lead to premature failure of the bearings.

I think it's more of an issue if you wreck or something happens to the car.

On this topic whats everyone’s experience with spacers and lowering springs effect on handling performance
I know it will make the ride harsher but im looking at eibach springs, but i dont want to compromise on fast driving performance and handling. Will get the car geo done after as well. |

Luckily in the US we don't have all the rules the uk has. Thanks farmers anyway, the only negative I have found from springs is its slightly more stiff and I had a dash rattle pop up after install was a fairly easy fix. Otherwise the car looks 100x better, ride is pretty much the same and it handles a bit better. The spacers also really help the looks. Might be enough that you just keep oem wheels.

There is only one rule here with insurance and that is you must declare mods - changes to manufactures spec after the vehicle was delivered. Not all mods change the premiums but you can understand why things like remaps or body kits would. |
