Sadly, I'm not lowering it until I'm a little closer to end of warranty. I've got to look at it like that for at least another 2 years. Then she's coming down!

Why wait that long? You will only ever be knocked back for a warranty claim when the fault/etc can be directly associated with the lowered suspension - that it pretty unlikely to ever happen...

Actually I want to put the body kit on first so that I can get an idea of a good height. I still want to be able to get through car parks

And with the things that have gone wrong with this car, I would not be surprised if the suspension falls out
