Santa Cruz Subaru mod-friendly?
Hi all, I have a 2015 Forester XT with Invidia Q300 exhaust, and I'm about to install Mann Engineering springs. I need to do my 18k mile maintenance and I'm trying to get some warranty work done (Bluetooth sucks, dashboard rattling), and I'm trying to make sure that they're gonna be pretty mod-friendly since I do have a few mods and I don't want them to deny the warranty work.

If your mods are not directly related to what you're getting fixed it shouldn't be a problem.
I had a lot of warranty work done though subaru... stereo, trans syncro, water pump, turbo, power steering pump... etc. All with mods on my car.
But honestly... I'd go in on that dash rattle BEFORE you install the springs. Stiffer suspension can be the cause of things shaking loose and they wouldn't be out of line denying that claim.
They've actually offered to install parts for me over the years. I'm going through there today if you'd like me to talk to the service manager.
Need to pick up a bolt.

Damn lol. Well I've scheduled my appointment for this coming Wednesday to fix the Bluetooth issue that's pissing me off so much and to fix that damn dash rattle. I'll see how the appointment goes.
