Title: Car lowering, adjustable / not adjustable
Post by: kdiz on 13 April 2010, 09:59

I was thinking about lowering the car slightly no more than 40mm, I am with admiral and my insurance is already pretty high already, I was just woundering do insurance companies generally increase your quote if you have adjustable, but dont increase it if it's not fully adjustble.

Yes as whatever happens it is a mod from standard.

Admiral want to know EVERYTHING! Even where you use the toilet...
I am with them and even ask for optional extras!

I am having to fork out an extra £250 for Koni coilies and D90's So meh will probably set you back around £150 im guessing :(

Set me back another £150 to lower by 40mm just on springs.

Brentacre use Bhp limits and don't care what mods you do within that limit - and they were £120 cheaper than HIC  :grin:
