ok, been over to Extreme Scoobies this morning, and am looking at going for the suspension mod - Tien springs etc.

Question is, do I have to get this approved by insurance first and do they charge the earth for it ?

chrs, Malc

Baz, can you sort out the the number of the broker please mate, thought I got a good deal last year, especially considering when I hear of people paying £1400 for insurance

Hello mate

Put mine on at Insurance renewal time, so was able to get them included at no extra cost, some insurance companies will charge though!!

Shouldn't be much (if anything) best to give them a call as has already been said

Good luck and well worth it by the way.

If the cash is spare I'd say go for it as you know I have a classic (presume it will have similar / the same results on yours) with the Tein S.Tech Springs it has transformed the handling and ride, I also love the lowered look.

I love it but it is your money and your call mate
