   dont see why it would make a difference as long as its lowered the proper way and not by notches/spline etc. could be wrong though...

   just lower it. millions of owners do it all over the country! lol As long as you dont get a monkey to lower it by splines you'll be fine mate. fitting bigger wheels on a non lowered car will turn it into a 4X4!
