I used the Renntech lowering module. Others like the adjustable links, Personal preference I guess...

Makes sense. I prefer to have the in-car adjustability.

I think depending on how low you would like your car, a lowering module is your best bet for adjustability.

Dealer lowered my car 2 inches ($600). Still has three finger gap, but 20's will close it even more. Plus no warranty issues, wife can still drive it around town, and car still lowers another inch normally at high speeds.
Or, get lowering module ($2000 + install), splice into ECU, void warranty, scrape up the front apron, but look so sick. Your choice....

that sounds like a good compromise...although the warranty is up anyhow at the end of this year. i didnt realize dealer could lower it...is this something they program into the computer or do they install something?

I've never had them but know people that have and with no problems. It will lower your car a good amount too, and when your sick of it, just take them off!!!

You can get the new Renntech lowering module for $1200 plus install. It is fully adjustable and you will only scrape depending on how low you lower your vehicle. The dealer can only void your warranty if they can prove that the damage was caused by the lowering module. There are a lot of individuals that have this module as well as other brands and have had no problems from the dealers regarding warranty issues because of it.

As for lowering links you still have the ability to raise and lower the car with the button by the shifter, you just lower each height setting by how much you lower the car with the links.
