It would only void the warranty on whatever parts you replaced or if something else were to be damaged because of your suspension modification. They can't void the rest of the warranty, only the portion that specifically is affected by your modifications. So if your transmission goes out, your coil overs would have nothing to do with that so it would still be covered under warranty.

yes you're good to go, do be cautious though, it's easy to blame issues on aftermarket parts, so just do your research if something fails and be sure that your dealer isn't trying to blame something unrelated on your mods. Keep in mind too that with warranty stuff, the dealers get paid usually to service your vehicle on these types of claims, so as long as something happens that isn't specifically related to your coils/springs/the install of those, you should really be OK.

Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act It's the law...we are protected.
Dealers can't void the entire warranty because of your mods. Remember that the dealer HAS TO PROVE that the aftermarket parts caused the damage/failure. If they give you a hard time, print the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act and slap them in the face with it.
