I was at the shop today with Ryan (mitsu 77) and we were installing some new KYB struts on a 1g Talon. I read through the warnings by KYB and they claimed that the maximum you could lower the car with their struts is 1.5 inches. After that the warranty does not cover anything that is lowered more than 1.5 because the strut is not meant to go down that far. Problem being, I was figuring on buying a set for my Intrax springs that lower the car 2.5-3 inches. I'm going to email KYB right now but I figured I might get a more timely response if one of you guys new the answer. Thanks

Looks like Tokico offers a warranty on theirs and just openly states that it will be void on excessively low vehicles. Honestly, I wouldn't call just over an inch lower than stock FWD 1G vehicles excessive. They are pretty vauge by just saying excessive, but I guess that probably keeps them out of trouble as well. They do however offer an exchange warranty where I could just take them to a local dealer for a swap. Looks like I might try those.
BTW, I'm not worried about speed bumps or ride quality that much. This car's main purpose is to look good and have the balls to back it up when necessary. I'm not going to be driving it that often so it's not all that important (1-2 times a week) If need be, I will swap the springs for a little less aggressive set. Thanks for your input guys
