majority of the time when u return a lease they dont really even notice... as long as the cars not dented or scratched.. plus.. u can always save the stock parts in your garage and before u return it swap it all back to stock.

Just make sure the car goes back to OEM!! I do this on my cars and personally i have never had an issue. How is your relationship with your dealer?

I modded my car, and its a lease. I will likely either take all the easily accessable stuff off, and turn it in that way, or buy it outright and give it to my dad. We've had cars that were traded in with lowering springs before, and usually left them and sold them that way. We just inspect to make sure it was done properly and safely.

Yep what he said. Our VW had tint and springs and they were fine with it that way.

Eibach springs and stock shocks and my dealer liked the ride and look. I wouldn't buy F-shocks on a lease. I have 50k miles on my stock shocks and it's the same as when I got it. Ask your dealer.
