many people go with the eibach pro kit, but when they do, they ruin their shocks/struts, sometimes within a year of installing the kit. i don't imagine that the shocks/struts would be covered under warranty considering it was aftermarket parts that caused the failure.

these cars have a problem with eating tie rod ends. many people have had theirs replaced at very low milage, and that's with stock height suspension. i can't imagine lowering the car would make the steering angles any better, the steering wasn't engineered to be used on a dropped vehicle.

i personally had both outer tie rods replaced at 22,000 miles, and that's on stock suspension and stock 17 inch wheels and tires on my 06 300 touring. larger, heavier wheels will only exacerbate wear on the tie rods, not to mention steering angles caused by a lowered suspension.

if you're already out of warranty, then i wouldn't worry too much, because you'll be fixing it out of pocket anyway, i just like to preserve my warranty.
