    question for anyone on bags, coils, or springs..
    has the dealer given anyone issues with your car being lowered and it effecting you warranty with
    the car, or complained that they cant get it on the lift to service it.

    One guy on here that was on coils said they couldn't get it on the lift to service it. At that point though, you can just adjust the height for the service and drop it when they're done.

    just call around different dealerships

    i called one dealership to have them service my car and after telling them I'm lowered, they said no thanks (some service) then I called another dealership and asked if they can service my car with it being lowered and they said its no problem (car has 5.5" clearance on the front bumper)

    anyway that other dealership that denied me clearly stated, "we just service OEM/factory/ stock cars"

    so mainly, it depends on what dealership is mod friendly.

    just call around and tell them youre lowered and see how they react to it.

    Thanks for posting this question up I've always wondered about it myself. It really does just come down to the service dept and if there's some enthusiasts or cool techs working there.
