yes you will. it would only have a year warranty though. also keep in mind a dealer can not void your warranty unless they can prove that whatever you added cause the problem.

^, Yes and therefore the warranty is a non-issue when discussing the F-sport spring installation.

just IMHO BECAUSE you get to keep the car....to me its silly to lease period (limitation on miles and the biggest i think is you dont own the car)

"keep" the car? cars dont last forever. i hope you plan to sell it eventually, unless you are comfortable with driving a car until the wheels fall off. many ppl on this forum dont even own their cars for more than 3 years.

And most that claim on planning to own the car for years end up trading away the car in 2-4 years. Always some excuse/reason/change/good event/bad event/new car on market, etc. that leads to average ownership being about 3 years. That's the reality in the vast majority of cases.

You aren't keeping the car, you're just selling it or trading it instead of returning it to the leaser. At that point most of your mods are mostly worthless or you take them off and sell them.
