It would only affect the warranty on your suspension.

Don't expect any sympathy for creaks or rattles as well.

With H&Rs on mine, it does not rub on any bumps at all; only when I got my Vorsteiner front splitter installed.

Well I ended up having the car dropped with Eibachs (20mm front 15mm rear) and I am very impressed with the result.

Ride is perhaps ever-so-slightly stiffer but not enough to be uncomfortable or rough (NOTHING like as stiff as a stock C63 for example) and I have happily left the car in Normal mode for daily driving.

The drop is just right too, with my front lip I would not want to go any lower (H&Rs would drop another 5mm at the front).

Only real difference is that care is required going into and out of driveways and when parking!

Most recent pics are here:

Thanks Androo! Next mod may well be a Kreis-sieg F1 exhaust just getting the courage to take the plunge!
