Just curious as i have my car lowered (just on springs) whether they will look at the suspension.. The only visual difference is that standard springs are red and my Apex ones are yellow..
The problem is, i havent declared it lowered (awaits abuse)
Would you advice me too put the standards back on or leave them..

Standard springs are black 
And yes they will check so iff you havent declaired it lowered then chances are they wont pay out for your car

Standard springs are not red.
If you have the car. Have the springs. And have the time. There is no harm in changing back.

They were there when you bought it - what do you mean it's been lowered officer.
As long as it's not slammed on its arse the assessor wont notice.
