If you lower your car, does it affect the insurence??

Want to lower mine but don't want insurence affected..!

I declared: -

Wheels
Suspension
Mantzel
Stage 2 Head
High Torque Cams
Backbox

It cost me an extra £30 per year. That's for a 21 year old, on a 1.6 sport.

Ring them and check. Some companies don't mind too much, some hate it.

most allow you up to 50mm and might not insure you lower than 60mm, but that's with people like admiral, norwhich union. Try specialist insurers, or just ring and ask!

Of course it will affect your insurance. You have modified the car from when it left the factory. Saying you've made the car handle better won't help you either!
