I have been thinkin' the same. I was thinking euro springs and pads so they are compatible with the car and wont cause warranty issues.

How much are they (googled and cant find it) and where can I buy them /have'em installed?

Thank you very much guys.

Suspension Change
Try Kleemann . I personally install a set in my car. It was easy. The drop was 25.4mm / 1" . The ride quality remain very good . over bumps. No problems with with steep driveways. or parking lot speed bumps. They worked well for me. But I did install a pair of Speedy Benz Camber bars. Had the rear camber set ,on the right & Left & Toe in,on the right was off justa little. On the front end , just reset the toe in. I've put 5000 miles on since then and the tire wear is prefect.
