Just a quickie, Brakes and insurance!

Did anyones insurance premium go up when they fitted cossie / bigger brake set ups, and informed their insurance company.

Just thought about it on the way to work, and i aint got the number for the insurance company in work.

should go down if anything, cos they make ur car safer, can stop quicker, therefore avoid more accidents.............but knowin insurance companies they'll say summat like they'll encourage u to drive faster, take more risks, or they'll get stolen, so they'll probably wanna put yer premium up........ :x

I have no doubt it will go up if it goes anywhere! Just wondering if it was a couple of quid, or alot more!

you will be looking at a 5% increase in most cases ( thats if your insurance company will even entertain you, some wont so ask before you do any mod) this is regardless wether you just fit replacement grooved disks or a monster ap racing setup
