Lowered with new wheels

Yep, there sure are. The Mercedes dealer won't return my calls about renting their tool (I understand if they don't want to but at least do me the courtesy of saying so) so my friend bought the proper compressor kit and did the install on Saturday. I'll post my own thread after I get it cleaned up.

The combination of 20" wheels and lowering springs definitely makes a stiff ride. The front doesn't clear parking stops so you have to be careful. Fortunately for me I am used to it. I always lower my cars as soon as I buy them.

I want to change the springs, but afraid to have some problems with warranty, how did you get away with it?

The warranty only becomes an issue when the modified part can be implicated in the failure of another part that would otherwise have been protected by the warranty.
So if you did a drop for example and you then had a suspension related issue that could be directly attributed to you altering the suspension geometry, they could refuse to cover the repair under the warranty. It has to be a specific and clear causation. They can't just declare the entire warranty void and walk away.

I wouldn't worry about the Eibach springs to break, but I worry that the dealer might say that I replaced and modified the springs and they caused damages to the OEM shocks. In that case, I'll have to buy new set of OEM shocks, during the lease term or before return the car.
