just joined the forum, and bought an 07 3 hatch, pearl white, 5 speed.

I just recently took off the side moldings and loaded the car with 3 coats of wax, now that it's smooth I am looking into purchasing lowering springs.

from what I was told by the dealer, the car was bought in 07 with a transfurable 6 year/ 160k warrenty which has now been passed onto me.

the 3 has 48k on it now and I am looking to give it 1-2" drop, (no more than 2") and eventually upgrade to stock speed rims.

will putting lowering springs in void my current warranty?

am I safe with swaping out the stock springs with aftermarket springs? or do I need to change the struts and shocks?

are there any clearence issues?

are there any extinsions or modified track/ stablizer bars needed?

has anybody else gone threw a similar situation?

thanks for anyfeed back
