Help-Insurance + Lowering car

Postby Eb Barbie » January 29th, 2008, 7:36 am

I called up my insurance company this morning to change my payment options and decided to add in that my car had been lowered. I know I will be paying more but Id rather be safe then sorry if anything was to happen and I wasnt insured for it.

Anywayz, they need to know the measurement of how much more the car has been lowered compared to the standard springs which were already in it. I have no idea! Does anyone have any ideas on the measurement of standard springs and super lows?

I need to call them back this morning so help would be great!

beth iirc super lows usually bring the height down by about 2 inches?
i just measured the front of mine from ground to the sill's and its approx 11-12cm from the ground at the front.
backs i cant measure cause i have ultras, not supers.
can you find out where the measurement needs to be from and to?

Beth,

Say "As far as I know it is the same hight as the XR6"
They will ask is it less then 20 (or so) mm
You say "Yes"

There ya go, easy.
