coilovers

[flegz16]

i interested in buying some coilovers for my ibiza and i was just woundering if it would affect my warranty at all? also how much would they put my insurance up by?

Changing any part from OE will invalidate the warranty on that component. i.e putting coilovers on will probably void anything suspension, ARB, steering. All depends on the garage really... sometimes they may turn a blind eye.
Insurance... the only person that could possibly tell you that is the person on the other end of the phone at your insurance company.

a know the only person that can tell me how much it will go up by is the insurance company, what a ment by that was, have people found a big rise with there insurance . iv got a service begining of next month all mention the coilovers to them

as has been said it will defo void the warranty, and it will affect the insurance quite a bit because with suspension you are altering the entire dynamics of the car. it will feel completly different to how the manufacturers set out for it. with other big mods (exhaust, remap) etc you are either making it noisier or a bit quicker but suspension is a whole new thing.

Flegz... when's your insurance up for renewal? I declared my mods when I renewed with a different company and premium went down

£30 extra on my insurance with Bell (they for some reason had down that I had lowered the suspension when actually I had fitted a front strut brace??!

 

[flegz16]

my insurance doesn't need renewing until next october and then my warranty runs out the following march. It kind of makes sense to just wait until my warranty runs out and hopfully, by then, i will have 4 years no claims and when time does come to put some coilovers on me insurance want be to bad but a don't want to wait that long

just bought ibiza cupra mk4 08 plate there was a banging from front end took it to local seat dealer and they found it had coilovers on it and they wouldnt touch it.

Will only be a prob as Simon just said if you take it in for anything related to suspension thou but IMO wait untill warranty is over then go for it means you can save for better coilovers until then!

No claims should not have anything to do with the amount you pay for mods thou?!
