Default please help a new one out!!

this week im getting springs, but in a debate now..and questions.. I want a good look with lowering my car but debating between trd springs, tein s-tech and tein h-tech, i want it low but will i hit bumps, driveways,etc and all that type of stuff with the hks hi power exhaust im also getting?,i dont wanna lower my car and there is still, like, alot of space either, or will i hit those type of things with the future rs1 lip kit ill get?,

is it possible that i will void my warranty putting these springs on?

is there other things i need to worry about when i put the springs on?

what does it mean by "settle" after putting them on?

your pictures if any would be appreciated too with your comments, and if there's anything else i need to know, please do so

thank you and appreciate it

if youre going for a good lower look, try the H-techs. TRD springs might be too high for you. youll have no problems clearing bumps and stuff if you dont drive like a maniac and just be careful.

it will void warranty if you change springs unless its the TRD ones installed by a dealership...or if the dealership finds something wrong with your suspension and the cause is because you put on aftermarket springs.

settling means that the weight of the car sitting on the springs will sometimes make it lower a day or few after the initial install. its basically like breaking a break in period.

Nothing voids warranty. There are laws against that. Also tons of threads about that subject. Now, if you put on any part (even trd) and you cause an issue with the car, they can refuse service for that issue, but your warranty is not void.

ahhhha yeahhh noooooooo.


anyway to the OP if you are looking at springs for performance and a nice "looking" drop, go with Progress.
