if you have a bump and your liable they'll inspect your car and will more than likely refuse to pay out cos its not been declared, they have to check the cars condition etc in order for a claim to go through so if they spot the springs your goosed cos they check it against the manufactures (sp) tech drawings :(

i guess it depends if you've lowered it by a lot. im doing mind 60mm with springs and obv thats going to be a noticable differece. im going to play it safe and tell my insurance, im in my 2nd year and its £900 so i dont think it'll go up too much, where i live is pretty good for insurace :)
