They would charge you more.
But you have to tell them
Cause if you get into an accident and they inspect your car and those parts have not been notified of. They will not pay you.
Be 100% truthful to insurance companies. Misspelling your name could even dismiss your claim.
I'm with AAMI and i've got Bilstein/Eibach setup with approx.35mm drop.just told them.no problem no extra charge either.Not sure about bodywork though.Quote:

NRMA is a bit more flexible in this instance where you choose the agreed value including any aftermarket parts.
my 2c though
as above, NRMA agrees to your modded value.
only thing with NRMA if you go lower than stock height by more 30mm then you are not covered.
ahhh icic so if i lower it shouldnt cause any problems ey
30mm is your limit from your stock height assuming your with NRMA.
which is equivalent to 1 fist height from tyre surface to fender.
I spoke to nrma, and they said mods can be covered by adjusting your market value of the car and to avoid any refusals make sure the mods are legal within rta standards and regarding suspension they said as long as it is not below 10mm it is fine. they never mentioned anything about 30mm below stock height, although everyone from nrma seems to say different things...did u increase ur value for ur mods daz??Quote:

You're right about being truthful, but AAMI are pretty good. Misspelling your name (who'd do that??!) wouldn't be enough to dismiss a claim.Quote:

Lol i think most people who have lowered their euros definately done more than 30mm...and i dont get how the insurance works, if u increase ur market value its only beneficial when ur car is written off...when u claim and say ur coilovers were damaged, they wont replace itQuote:
