Hi all,
Need some advice please, particularly if you understand/work in the insurance area.
So my insurance is up for renewal, and admiral have come out cheapest again. However I have just rang them to try and explain the purpose of Hi-Lo adjustable suspension components. I have them installed but run the car at approx standard ride height, the girl on the phone could not work out the purpose of them when I tried to explain that you can adjust the height independently on each corner to improve handling and safety. I guess her only options were lowered (less than 5cm) lowered (greater than 5cm which they don't insure) and suspension (other).
She asked if you could increase the height of the supspension above standard and I said well I guess in theory you could (no clue why you would want to though) which she returned and said they would not insure me if you could increase the height no matter if I did or not.
So my question is, can you use Hi-Lo's to increase the ride height?
Secondly, she said all I would need was my word if I were to say no and I'd be insured (increasing my premium by £4 with the mod). However, I would risk voiding my insurance if they discovered you in fact could increase the height. Is it worth the risk?
I now wish I had just declared it as lowered suspension because the new cones will settle lower over time anyway. lol.
Cheers
