search in the classifieds often because people tend to part out their cars, or you can go through all of the pages for suspension and you should come across like 3 of them for less.

But be ready to fight it as it's not uncommon to hear that your part caused the problem, and if you can't prove otherwise, you may be screwed on your warranty.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear something like "sorry, your clutch failed at 1000 miles becuase of the aftermarket exhaust you put on added too much torque for the standard clutch plates to handle" if you have the misfortune of coming up against a praticularly shady dealer.

Even worse, sometimes the new and unskilled mechanice may honestly believe this, and the dealership management (who relies on him for info) may use that claim to back up the no warranty wording.

It's always a gamble.

yeah plus the dealers won't want to accept your car when you go for oil changes and such because it's supposely is too low to get on the lift..i say with it because i used to work at a dealer and i would always be putting it on the lift to work on it. same as when you want to get it aligned or the tire rotated then they come up with the excuse of it being too low i've gone to 5 different places for my alignment and only 1 place was kinda cool with it. trust me man it's hard tring to look for the right place that is willing to do it.

^ That is true, many places won't touch lowered vehicles.
