hey i was wondering if you can lower a car that is leased, and put the original suspension back on upon return? would they say anything everytime i take the car in for some maintainance/oil changes? its a 2 year lease, if that makes any diff at all

as long as you put it back to stock when you turn it in, you should be fine. however something like lowering your car ( as long as its not a drastic drop) is something that the comapny may not even be able to notice when you have your little inspection from them...as long as you don't mind giving up your suspension.

Also, if your not looking for a dramatic drop, try adding lower profile tires, it works.

i wanna also eliminate some wheel gap. plus, lower profile tires willgive me a harsh ride and the possibility of bending my tires. another plus, these tires cost an arm and a leg. better off just throwing some eibachs or Tein's on there. whats the best bang for the buck? i want near stock ride quality

Try the forum "Purchasing, financing and insurance"

Will they say anything when you take it in for service? No. I suspect they won't even notice when you turn it in.

Of course if you decide to buy it at the end of the lease, you can complain the springs are defective and sagging so they better knock some $$$ off. :D

Mogatu is right. I think he answered your question perfectly. Also, I doubt the issue would arise on maintenance visits: The service department is extremely unlikely to notice it unless you have suspension problems. And even if they do, I can't imagine they'd mention it to the finance company; they wouldn't even know that it was a leased car.
