oh and as for waiting until your warranty expires to go lower... I'm sitting on Hotchkis on my tC with only a 1 finger-width gap front and 1.5 gap rear. It won't void your warranty. The ONLY time aftermarket parts will void it is if it can be proven that the aftermarket part(s) are what caused an issue/damage.

I would tend to agree on this... but definitely need the 411 on what happened. How did they prove that it was caused by installing the TEIN H-Techs?
I, along with a lot of others on here are dropped lower than H-techs and have had zero issues. Hell... I even had Toyota install lowering springs on one of my tC's. And they told me it wouldn't void my warranty at all.
Without more specifics... it sounds kinda fishy to me.

^^ That's what I would expect to happen even with OEM sway on. Granted I'm on Hotchkis sways front and rear, which are stronger than the OEM parts, but regardless... "iheartzombies" account of being dropped AND the rear sway being OEM w/ no issues. I'm tellin' ya... this Mouse... smells a RAT!
