Review: "Tein S-tech springs" lots of pics!

i got the springs installed by the guys from creative compacts. I watched them do it and the the only tools u will need is a spring compresser and getting to the rear springs are a little hard

Don't quite understand the logic here but to each his own. Springs won't void your warranty. It is the dealership's responsibilty to prove that the installation of the product or the product itself is the cause of whatever problem you are having. So sack up and do it if you want to.
