    wat they dont know wont hurt.........

    but seriously, they are classed as modifications and they should be told.
    if it come down to it, they could wipe ur policy for not telling them

    There also may or may not be a clause stating the amount you are allowed to lower your car (eibachs - I assume lower).

    With NRMA for example, 30mm on BASE model is the max you can lower. Any lower and your policy is void as more than 30mm lowering on a stock BASE model is illegal (here in NSW anyway).

    Hope that helps

    start by ringing up as a new customer and tell them about it. if they say they wont insure u, then think about changing companies because if they find out and u havent told them like pete said... ur stuffed

    i know shannons, just car, and famous insurance all cover it as long as they know about it
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
