ive never drooped my car, but i've lowered it. it will not void your warranty unless lowering it is proved to be the direct cause of the malfunction.
for example, if your struts blow out because of lowering springs, then yes, your warranty is voided. but if there's a problem with your engine, it's still covered under your warranty since lowering your car has absolutely nothing to do with your engine's internals.
read up on the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975. it covers pretty much everything you need to know in regards to your warranty.

not low enough. i'm on coils, so i need to roll my fenders before i go lower. i have zero gap in the back, and like a 1.5 finger gap in the front.
