Just rang my insurance company up and they want me to pay £104 on top of my premium for the fitment of lowered suspension and a stainless zorst .
Does this sound reasonable ???
Apparently they class spring and shocks as 2 separate mods!!!! :confused:
How much extra would I be expected to pay on my insurance for lowered suspension ?
Is the sportsline kit, I think thats what they call it its the lowest one anyway, is ok for every day use or is it a bit too hard ??
