All,

I have a couple of questions about lowering springs and was hoping I could get an answer from you guys.

1. Will the install of H&R Sport springs VOID my suspension warranty? I was just told by David McDavid Acura that it will.

2. Anyone know of a place in the Plano area that installs springs? I called Jotech in Garland and they wanted $200 labor to install the H&R's. That seems high, but I heard Jotech does great work.

3. I have decided to get the H&R Sport springs. Are Eibach worth the extra $$$. Is the ride any better?

I promise this is my last post about this. Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

1) They do not void the warranty. No aftermarket mod voids the warranty unless the dealer can prove... without a doubt, that the modification caused the problem. For example, if your stock shocks go earlier then usual, you have to replace them... but something else happens, like a tranny issue.. you're fine.

2) Can't help you there.. but I paid about $200 for install too. Not sure if it would be cheaper in TX. There aren't many places around me... so the price tends to be higher here.

3) H&R Sports are pimp... I love them. The Eibach's are nice too... but not many (if any) people have them, so there's not much feedback on them. Comptech and H&R are the two most popular brands, so either one of those should be fine

Good luck and welcome aboard

juniorbeans right, but jim's question was regarding "suspension" warranty specifically. in this case, since you're replacing an integral part of the factory suspension, i would assume that it would void your warranty. However, this would only effect suspension parts, i.e. shocks.

no other warranties will be voided, except those parts that are specifically related to the modified part.

Good catch agean!!

He's right... your any warranty related to your suspension parts would pretty much go out the window if you lower your car. Everything else would still be covered as normal....

So, other than shocks, what other part would be related to the suspension, where the warranty would be voided?

Also, I thought if you installed Comptech springs, the warranty would not be voided. Which is why I was considering Comptech (which are over priced) instead of H&r's or Eibachs.
