By replacing the springs, does that affect the warrantys on the vehicle?

Highly doubt it. It mainly depends on who is your dealer, service manager, etc

would you recommend the Eibach springs? I saw it mentioned somewhere that they are less stiff than the H&R ones.

Take it to a shop. Even these shops take at least 3-4 hours for install. You have to remove the whole suspension in order to remove the springs. I recommend either H&R or Techart I still havent heard of anyone that installed Eibach springs.

How much do most springs lower the car, and how is the ride quality effected?
Is there a greater effect with bigger wheels?
And how much do they go for?

again, thanks

I think my H&R springs from tirerack costs around 200. It lowers the car 1.3 Inches. The larger the wheel the better it will look

EDIT: Holy **** the price for those H&R are $310 now. I got them a year ago for 200 I believe

but do they effect ride quality?

I changed my suspension on my old car, and my brother's, and since then vowed to never do it again. No matter how much they helped, I said it wasn;t worth it. But I now see that it is.
How bad? or not so bad?
