Fitting Lowering springs - DRC question

[harrier]

Yeah £200 - 250 is about right for the labour. Plus factor in a decent alignment afterwards, it makes an amazing difference!!!

I'm thinking about this mod for my car Mike. Can you fill me in more on the "amazing difference" please?

For those that have the KW HAS on their DRC, how do you now find the ride harshness, any compromise?

After alignment the car turned into bends much sharper and with more confidence. It made the car feel lighter than it did before but in a good way ie still felt planted (actually more than before) but felt more nimble and easier to change direction. Don't get me wrong it, it doesn't suddenly feel like a hot hatch, but massively improved over how it felt when it left the factory. I've heard the factory alignment check is not very precise so something worth doing on all cars whether lowered or not, and I can't say if the improvement was just down to alignment or alignment and lowering together, it may well be just as good after just an alignment.

Thanks for that Mike. Is lowering going to be an issue re warranty?

Cheers

Might affect a warranty claim for suspension defects but I'd expect any engine / drive train failures or other non related failures to still be covered.

Tx Mike - will give it some thought.
