Insurance Companies + Strut Braces

[bennai]

Those of pople with Strut Braces, what insruance companies are you using,

Both insurance companies i have had my FR insured with have told me they cannot insure my car if i fit a strut brace... any one else have this trouble.??

I'm go through Sky Insurance (a broker), and I've not had a problem. It was one of those things that had to be declared really... if someone hits your front right wing, the strut brace is going to transfer some of that over to the left wing - and that won't add up to the insurance company when they look at it.

At least that's how I see it. What's their reason for not insuring it? Seems a bit silly.

Have a look in the insurance section -

Haven't got a strut brace, but don't believe Greenlight charge any extra

"Seems quite high, we can add these modifications to a quote free of charge. When your insurance falls due for renewal please try us for a quote as our specialist polices are very modification friendly. We can even add a Re-map to quote free of charge"

Quote from one of Greenlight's responses in a thread. Obviously depends on the circumstances, but in this instance I would guess there wouldn't be any charge for the strut brace either.

And if someone smacks your front right wing and then that causes damage to the left side suspension aswell? It'll be hard to explain wouldn't it?
