If you put aftermarket suspension on the car, and the AC stops working, they have to prove the aftermarket suspension caused something the AC to fail. Period. They cant deny the claim, if they do, Im sure youd have a lot of lawyers lining up to help you wn that battle.

Just be smart with your car, if you are going in for warranty work, take off the questionable parts.

Here's a read on the subject from the other side.

Interesting part here

This TSB isn’t really different from other statements issued to dealers on previous performance versions of the Mustang, or other models (PowerStroke diesels, for instance) — to be aware of aftermarket modifications that may have adversely affected the reliability of the system they’re being asked to warranty. A K&N filter element in the stock airbox or the Ford Racing cold-air kit (that’s standard on Boss and GT500 models)? No problem. PowerDyne blower? Problem, even though it’s “just a mod to the air intake”.

the fact that toyota sells TRD intakes, exhaust and suspension - those items should be okay. Turbo kit, no way.
