Insurance wont allow coilovers or springs :(

[AlexMurphy]

Right im with co op, i rang them up to get a price of how much my insurance will go up with coilovers or springs and they said we dont insure cars with mods ? Has anyone else had this problem and did you find a way to get round it ? (with being able to lower the car obv)

 

[Adam.]

Don't declare it.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Seriously !?

Go to another insurer who will cover mods.

/Close thread.

Try differant wording, e.g. instead of performance exhasust, say exhasut system changes...

i was with co-op unti;l i found this out, they dont insure any mods what so ever and they are strict about voiding insurance. aviva are good for mods, id have a look with them thats who i have now gone with from co-op hope this helps

I crashed a car with lowered dampers and springs with Co-op, they were fine about it.

I got bored and was looking at how much it would cost for different mods and it is very cheap and in some cases its free so im happy with them

As mentioned above Aviva didn't blink when I had K&N and stainless exhaust, the guy said if it doesn't really make it faster they dont load the premium.

how long until your insurance is due - that would be the deciding factor as to change companies or not

+1 if your near the end of the years insurance on your car then a move would be very simple to do...
