Default lowering

Im possibly going to be lowering my a4 in the future and have some questions?
Does lowing the car void the warranty?
Is h and r a good brand to go with?
does the car look good lowered with the stock 17inch alloys?
does lowering the car increase the handling ? (car lacks in the handling)
thanks

1) no only if the problem is related to lowering the car (e.g. you lower ur car and tear off the oil pan....will NOT be covered under warranty, e.g. you lower ur car and ur turbo fails....warranty will cover that)

2) yes

3) yes but thats in the eye of the beholder personally i like a 1.5 inch drop thats all i think it needs

4) yes lowering springs are stiffer and give the car a better feel overal but you will feel every crack in the road, also the car will handle better because it now has a lower center of gravity

I'd like to see pics too - just bought an A4 B7 last weekend and was thinking about getting Eibach Pro Kit.

Here is my B7 with H&R lowering springs only. I kept the S-line sport suspension.
