Warrenty Issue?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Would it be a warrenty issue if I changed to the Whiteline kit consisting of ARB front and rear, Whiteline drop links and Whiteline anit-lift kit if I needed my shocks replaced?

I am looking into coilovers also in the form of Tein as I will be tracking the car at some point, hopefully for the June SIDC trackday.

Another point if I needed something else done under warrenty would this be affected due to having non standard suspension?

(sorry guys im still learning! :blush: )

I doubt very much if the changes you're propsosing would affect warranty. However, if the stealer wanted to be awkward about it, then they might. but if your changing to COs, whats the worry?

I have a couple of sets of brake disks done under warranty with several suspension upgrades and I know of other who have had shocks replaced with lowering springs installed. You really should be ok :blush:

most places will look past mods if there is no way that they could have caused the fault that you are in for, but say you did modify the suspension then had drivetrain problems for example... they might well say it could have been caused by the mods

there can't be much of a warrenty left on yours by now? Mine is an 07 and has under a year to go

In fact, what am I thinking about! I got a gear box replaced under warranty with a turbo, exhaust, suspension, remap and a raft of other mods done. You'll be cool!

There is a fair bit to go Ross. I only bought the car on the 10th of Feb and you get a 12 month Subaru warrenty so that will run to December 09.

The STi set up is Ok if it wasnt so prone to self destruct. Whiteline will be the way to go so just need to get in tough with geo or source the kit myself.

Ah right that makes sense now

Cusco kid is the man to see about Whiteline stuff, he's just over the water in Fife. I'm going to see him myself when I get back on dry land for some goodies for mine :blush:

A keen eye will refuse warranty. Ive been refused warranty due to modifications in the past, and have also refused warranty before to those with modifications. Just depends on luck really mate! With droplinks and whiteline etc you shouldnt have a problem, as they arent directly linked to the strut.
