Backend Sagging

My car is only week old and I've noticed that the backend is sagging. Most of the maximas I see have the same stance. What are you guys doing to resolve this? Lowering the front end?

Lowering it generally evens it out. Thats why most springs have a higher drop in the front than in the back

Will lowering springs void my warranty?

Shouldnt so long as nothing happens to your car due to them. If you get springs i would get shocks too and save money later. The stock shocks cant handle the springs generally for any more than 10k at most.

It will only void things related to the suspension components. You manufacturer can only void warranties for parts that failed due to a modified component. For example: If you shocks go out, they will not replace them. If you timing chain snapped, they would be obligated to honor that due to the fact that the lowering springs could not effect the timing chain.
