What's the claim? I have lowered my car via KW V2 and I've done several brake jobs. I've had the rotors replaced. And I've had a couple sets of pads replaced. I wasn't hassled at all about the car being lowered.

I'm lowered on springs and I took my E92 to the dealership specifically to have them fix my typical BMW squeaky/sticky brakes. They didn't say anything at all, even with the springs being orange haha.

i dont know the specifics but all i know is that they refused to warranty anything that had to do with the cars suspension and braking.

What kind of brake problems did your friend have?
How did the dealer prove your friend if the lowering springs cause braking issues?
