DundeeDub 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I have got to the dreded time of year when i have to get my insurance re-newed.I have fitted FK Highsports and have the rings positioned 35mm from the bottom, how much has this lowered the car??I think i remember that you can lower the car 110 mm on them but unsure, is it as symple as: 110 - 35 = 75 mm drop??

Pittuf 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 My insurance company won't insure me if I lower my car!Luckily it runs out in 7 days so I won't be uninsured for long, they think i've jacked it back up to standard height, the muppets, lol Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Steve 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I think some companies only insure certain drops (up to 30mm or so) or charge more for going over 30mm. Link to post Share on other sites

Pittuf 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Ok mate, i'll let you know. Getting abit of a knock when braking and pulling away so just gotta check the top nuts at the front are done up properly, shouldn't take long, so i'll give you a bell when done and see what you're up to, cheers :-) Link to post Share on other sites
DundeeDub 0 Posted June 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 hey thread snatchers, .....lolanyone got an idea??the insurance isn't asking how low, but there are 3 sections, not lowered, lowered by up to 5cm, then 5cm to 12.5 cm.am guessing i'm the last one Link to post Share on other sites
Pittuf 0 Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 lol, sorry mate. I'd say you will be in the last area, if you are 35mm from the bottom and the coillies only drop by 80mm its still a 55mm drop, and i'm sure they drop by more than 80! Link to post Share on other sites
