I've never come across this, plus it would make no sense for them to be charging more for something that results in less claims.

I don't know if it helps in the decision, but the bolts that come with the kit for fitting to the chassis have just over an 1 inch of thread penetration. They are also Torque'd to 50 Nm at the front and 80 Nm at the rear. I'm not sure a couple of washers would make too much difference to there performance or safety.

In fact, you should tell your insurers anyway every time you alter your car from delivery spec. |

Commonsense says it makes no difference, especially if it was a factory option and/or standard on some models.
However.... You can't be too careful with insurance companies. Just last week a lady who works in our office told us her 19 year old son had just bought a new Citroen which has a free insurance policy if you fit a black box. Chap turned up 10 days later to fit the box and refused to do so and his policy subsequently cancelled simple because he'd de-badged it. It sounds to incredible to be true I know but I know this lady well and I'm inclined to believe her.

I am looking at buying these. Did you look at other suppliers and are you still happy with them?

Guys,
Its clear that the insurance company are in the majority of cases not going to consider it an issue, claims to the country are just nonscence. There may be some that charge and are not doubt in the minority. |
