they dont void the warranty only thing they will affect is IF something went wrong (broke, bent, etc) due to you having aftermarket springs......

as far as I know they will not honor your warranty with gettin that fixed...

for example if your horn doesnt work...u can get it fixed with the warranty they cant tell you that the lowering springs did it.....

now if your shocks blow out they cant fixed it cuz its a direct cause of your springs...
hope that explains well

It sounds like you best bet would be to get coilovers. Then you can adjust exactly how low you wanna go without worrying about scrapes.
But from what your saying, I think the H&Rs are you best bet, hight wise.

ok, when the time comes, i plan on getting hotchkis springs
but.........i dont plan on getting any sway bars, or watever those things are called. i jus want the springs.

does the hotchkis ride good with only the springs, or is in need of sway bars, etc?

and you wont be disappointed

nah, i dont have no extra. jus the springs.
i have a question, does anybody here that have rims 18's or 19's have any problems with rubbing?

since the drop is slightly lower in the back, and i have a 2 12 in sub box in the back plus back seat passengers, thats extra weight added. will that cause any rubbing?

I have had mine on about six months. Love them and haven't had a problem yet. Put them on myself in about 6hrs with plenty of breaks in between so it wasn't to bad. Heres a pic with the stock rims...

And how she sits now on 19's...
