i wanna lower my 07 sedan but my parents wont let me because it'll void the warranty. if i lower it i have to get a lip so i can be like yeh the lip makes it look lower (tell my mom that) BUT if i have a lip and i lower it i cant get it in the driveway and i need to put my car in the garage especially since people egged my car yesterday
advice?

 

Sucks about the egging.
If your parents are giving you issues, check into the HFP suspension that is FULLY warranteed at Honda.

also, welcome to the site

well if your 17, just be happy you have a new car

sorry about mods when your a little older .

 

too bad you didn't look into this before you bought the car.. could have had the HFP suspension and lip kit financed along with the car..

 

my parents wouldnt have paid for it, theyre completley against it

 

Most parents suck when it comes to modding cars but be happy they bought you a brand new car in the first place.
Now.. hurry up and get some comptech springs and get them installed behind your parents back. They'll never notice the drop and you'll be happy.

 

lol im not gonna make it up my driveway, then they'll notice idk i guess im just gonna order them anyway?

Get 1" drop so it's less noticeable. My car didn't even make it to 200 mile mark when I dropped it. lol

 

mmmm, im just gona get the hfp suspension, its $600 but worth not voiding the warranty or getting in trouble. how could my parents yell at me if it doesnt even void the warranty. theres always a way to get my way

there ya go man.

my parents were a whole hell of a lot more lenient when i was in highschool. they were against me swapping out my old d series until i told them the b-series would make my car more reliable

with just springs alone you should have no problems getting up the driveway.

 

Some parents are clueless. Even if you lowered it unless they took pics of your car that they can reference to... I DOUBT they would even notice.

 

lowering springs will not void the warranty.if u have a suspension prob down the road they dont have to warranty the problem. the dealer has to prove the springs caused the problem in the end

Well, if the struts blow-out because of lowering springs (which has happened on a couple SI's), there is no way Honda will warranty the repair, or any other damage that is remotely connected to the aftermarket springs and/or broken struts.

Not sure if this is what you are saying. Just wanted to clearify for the poster.

Regardless, you are safe with HFP suspension and having Honda install them.

 

17, driving a brand new car payed by the rents, and you're already trying to do **** to it behind their back?

Maybe it's just me.. but be thankful you have a brand new car. I think your parents have the right to say no to any sort of mod, especially suspension. It's THEIR investment, and they should protect it however they see fit.

You just said you can't get into the driveway if you lower it.. so you're now gonna be scraping the hell out of the bottom of their car? Probably a bad idea.

 

ha, im thankful even though i did ask for an older civic not a brand new one but its cool im thankful i just wanna do some stuff to it. they cant get mad if itdoesnt void the warranty anyway

 

Yeah.. they could get mad, cuz they told you not to do **** to their car, and you're still trying to.

Warranty or not, maybe they just want the car to remain stock. It's their choice, right?

 

yeah my dad was the same way,he didnt want me modding the civic cause he thinks im gonna use it to race or some ricer might mess with me,but for the first few months got it dropped and everything,he didnt notice it till i got a muffler put on so he didnt care anymore

 

eh i dont think they would get that mad anyway

 

it wont void the warrenty on the whole car just the suspension part of it...just keep your stock stuff and if anything happens put the stock stuff back on

Wrong sir.

Warranty cannot be "voided". A warranty claim may be "denied" if an aftermarket part directly leads to the failure of another part or system of the vehicle.

/truth

 

i baught the hfp suspension and im waiting for it to come in the mail! i'll let you know how it turns out in the end

Please tell your parents they have been misled and to read this article. Sadly I doubt they will be receptive.
