Spartan535 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 I'm ancient so most insurance companies let me do anything for a price but at 18: * Most standard insurance companies don't like lowered cars full stop; * The ones that do like them like them lowered less than 5cm on springs; * They all see $ signs when you mention coli overs! Phone round some of the specialists and see what they say. Don't use comparison websites as most don't carry modifications forward to the parent company resulting in nasty surprises when you either tell them they've made a mistake on you policy details or worst still after an accident and they saw you're not covered!
