If you are asking whether the lowering will fix the problem we now loving call tire feathering, I doubt it. Everyone I have spoken to or heard from say it will not.
If you are asking whether lowering will be an issue with Nissan during the additional 12 month warranty, I say(
toungue in cheek) NO. It is not an issue. They just flatly refuse. No Issue.
Nissan wont even look at it without you bringing it back to stock.
I called them because I wanted to buy the Nismo wheels for my Track. Per their on press release if you follow their recommendation for the larger than OEM size tires for use with the Nismos, (because of the VDC)that will void the warranty. Made no sense to me that they would try to void the warranty for following their recommednations but that is what they said.

I had feathering and got it fixed with new tires and alignment, then had it dropped with Eibachs and no problems so far after a year, although I am thinking of swapping sides like the the TSB to be safe.

tire feathering will still be an issue when you lower your car, but proper alignment will fix it.
Just follow the latest TSB spec, you should be fine.

I think that the feathering probably is slowly going away. I haven't noticed as many complaints as before. I think once every on got their alignments done the issue went away for them, at least for me it did.
