Would solid subframe mounts be an insurance mod? Is it classed as a service thingy to prevent the trouble caused by rubber ones or is that not how it works?

    it's a modification because it is a deviation from what was fitted as standard, assuming your car didn't come with em and they were changed later.. It would be easy for an insurance company to claim it was done to improve the handling, which then suggests that you were trying to improve 'performance' with the subsequent implication that you would use this new found performance...

    But I'm still a learner at the moment and when I pass my insurance will already be high enough. For a complete set of new rubber mounts it's almost £100 + VAT from Minispares! I might have to go non-genuine :(
