tidykart Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 In a right mess over some options, what do people think... I wana lower my car, I was gona keep it all Ford by getting new GTi suspension at a cost of £174. Then get the Ford lowering springs but they are a huge £160 (both quotes from Ford). SO instaed was thinking off getting the Ford shocks and PI or G-max lowering springs but that comes to a total of £239. A full G-Max suspension kit comes in at £236 (direct car parts). But don't know if worth risking putting the full kit on- cause if I crash I'm nakard insurance wise. (I'm under my Dad's name). What do people think? Any words of wisdom?

Lee R Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 if you crash with GTi suspension on, you're knackered insurance wise, so whats the difference? full GMax kit is the winner imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidykart Posted May 23, 2005 Author Share Posted May 23, 2005 That's what I was thinking about the insurance- just risking it. And keeping the standard just incase I do crash, just better not crash hard. Touch wood!!! Just gota hear from scorted, see what he wants for his springs.

Trig Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 depending on who the insurer is it doesnt cost much, if anything for light mods. I have declared all mine, lowering springs, exhaust, front discs, induction kit, alloys, ICE, stainless grilles and my total premium is £672 tpft with one year no claims. last year my premium was £1288 with no mods and no ncb. Its not worth the risk not telling the insurer. you might be the greatest driver in the world but if some idiot that cant tell their brake from their arse hits you, you might lose out.

Ex-Finesse Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Declare your suspension mods, will make virtually fcuk all difference to the premium! I told my insurance about the 2L going in, I'm gonna get charged an extra £200 on a £1000 policy. The car classification will change from UK model group 6, to Import group 11 LOL Let us know what they say! Btw, I doubt you'd feel any difference with new GTi suspension.
