Default Void Warranty?

I am gonna get a Super White tC in a few weeks, and I wanna add koni shocks/struts or TRD shocks/struts with Tein S-Tech springs within weeks after getting it. I am only afraid of the warranty if something bad were to happen which would result into expensive repairs, depending on the severity of the damage. What should I do? I REALLY wanna do this ASAP.

What you should do is use the search button, its the bright red button labeled SEARCH. You should search for "Moss Magnussen" and you should read that shizzy.

I don't mean to be an a$$ but this has been answered so many times it makes me want to throw up.

Until recently I did not know there was such a thing as Moss Magnussen. My fault? Probably.

However, a simple answer or polite response directing somone where to search may have been more appropriate.

And by the way, no one cares what makes you vomit.

Haha, let's stick to the topic here.
Is it a bad idea to do this within weeks after I buy the car?

no problem at all. Moss/Mag states that your warranty is valid, regardless of aftermarket parts, unless the dealer can prove in writing, that the parts in question were responsible for any damage.

bottomline, those parts are fine to install, no warranty issues.

If they are installed wrong they may cause problems with the warranty.............

Is there any detailed guidelines or thread WITH pictures on a full suspension swap? As in shocks and spring swap?

again, the search button is your friend. Or even browse the tech forums. General rule of thumb, 90% of the stuff a person would want to know about, has already been asked before. Using th search button prior to asking will not only save you the time of composing your message, it'll save you the tiem of waiting for a response.

I did check the tech section a while back and there was nothing on suspension unless if I am wrong.

the koni shocks will run you around $700. the tein's will run around $170. then you have to pay for install. I would say if you have the cash, go with coilovers! the tein basics will run around $860? it would save you money and you get to adjust the ride hight too! Thats what i would do if i had the cash!!


BTW the search button is your friend, it would save you alot of time!

koni yellow + s-techs will be a better performing combo then the basics. and yellows will run you into high 500s, shouldn't be 700. i know, because i almost went that route.

I just might get the TRD shocks. Because they work good enough I suppose.d I am not trying to get the best of everything, just improvements, I want good improvement with the drop tho.

Not only will this combo have a better ride for the street, the konis are two-way adjustable. The Tein Basics are only height-adjustable.

What do you mean two way adjustables? Does Koni make more than 1 set for the tC as in the Sport and then I hear about this Yellow. I'm confused.
