i would also like to know this? anybody know how low the drop is with hotchkis? how bout spring rates or sway bar diameters?
i am a damon. and marty has it 100% right. as long as an installed item cannot be determined to be the cause of a warrantied part failing, you are okay with warranty. i have a customer with bags on his xB and it lays frame. still under warranty.Originally posted by basilisk4@Feb 20 2005, 04:58 PM
There is really no such thing as a part voiding your warranty, per se. If you have a suspension-related issue down the road, it is likely that a dealer would blame the non-factory springs. Unless the problem was one that was totally inconsistent with being caused by a change in the springs, you'd have a rought time convincing the dealer otherwise.
That's worst-case, but not at all unlikely.
Damon?

Agreed! Totally Correct. A Dealer cannot just say you have no warranty because of a part being added to your car. They have to prove that the part or the install 'caused' the problem.Originally posted by inevitablegod+Feb 24 2005, 05:30 PM-->QUOTE (inevitablegod @ Feb 24 2005, 05:30 PM)<!--QuoteBegin-basilisk4i am a damon. and marty has it 100% right. as long as an installed item cannot be determined to be the cause of a warrantied part failing, you are okay with warranty. i have a customer with bags on his xB and it lays frame. still under warranty.

First of all, nobody will fault you for bringing up old threads. It is better to keep lots of information in a single related thread than have thousands of related threads with bits of information in each one.Originally posted by boricua82@Apr 10 2006, 06:48 PM
I know this is an old thread, but there was a little something i wanted to clarify. saththu555 says that if you get the TRD package, then the front sway bar is useless. However, ineveiteablegod wants to keep the TRD springs, but have the hotchkis set in order to have that front sway bar. Any reason for this? Also, would having the TRD shocks instead of the stock shocks improve the handling/and/or ride comfort within that package? Thanks in advance.
