Tried looking for this in the Search function but didn't really find anything helpful. I just dropped my Max with H&Rs and Tokicos and was wondering how that would affect the 3/36,000 warranty. Any experiences with dealers will be extremely helpful.

Forgot to say, I've heard some dealers don't want to warrnty brakes due to suspension mods.. sheesh.

Sometimes it depends on your relationship with the dealer. I had Eibachs when the top of the strut mounting plate came loose. Dealer fixed no questions and I was on my way - new mount, new strut, etc.

Two weeks later tore the thing out and replaced with Koni anyway

We've been over this a BAZILLION times. Your warranty is only void if the aftermarket part CAUSES the problem in question. That is all. Dont let the dealer tell you otherwise. If they can prove that your new springs screwed up your brakes then good for them.

Thanks mzmtg. I understand that these newbie questions probably get asked over and over again so I appreciate the response. My concern was more along of the lines of specific parts that can be affected, like the parts that the dealer would try to link to the lowering in order to void my warranty such as the brakes (thanks punkdork) and others.
