Standard Ride Height

Thats a good point. The whole point of coilies/airbags is so you can vary the height for what ever reason. Tbh i would not claim for underside damage due to it being my stupid fault for going too low. Same for wheel damage for a low profile tyres etc etc..

Funnily enough my wife suggested that when we went out today. The annoying thing was i seemed to be the only Polo on the road today so did not get the chance.

Btw what is meant by ''man up''. Kind of feel things going off topic a touch.

Standard ride height? Anyone? Roughly?

My sierra is only about 40mm down and that still scrapes over some of the more mountainous speedhumps around here, I have no doubt in my mind even standard cars would scrape over some of them

Understatement.

You'll get that feeling a lot around here unfortunately.

Either way, good luck on finding a 6n.. Surely one of the easiest cars to find?! :p

Am with admiral and mines droped about 60mm n i just haven't told them so hope i dnt crash haha

Why not just get a modified car policy? No point pissing about with normal insurance companies. I can do anything i want (as long as i dont exceed my engine power limit), and all i have to do is ring up and tell them i did it. Its more money, but is definately worth it for the freedom to mod.

Who are you with?^^

Probably Brentarce. My VR has a 250bhp limit i had to pay £40 for that as originally the limit was 200bhp (193bhp standard).

Yep. Kerrly guessed right. Brentacre :-D

Anyone know the standard ride height for a 6n 1.4 8v no arb. Need to know for insurence purposes. Admeral wont let me lower it more than 50mm on my coilovers. Cheers.

Just measured mine (standard suspension might of dropped a bit with age of springs/shocks etc) Front 620mm Rear 600mm sitting on 185/55/14

Just bought my first polo already lowered and I had the same dilemma, it was already lowered, so thanks for that answer. Only reason I'm going with Admiral is because they have quoted me like £900 when i have a £7000 claim against me!

Adrian flux asked me how low the breadvan was, i said quite... as I've no idea.. they accepted that as a reasonable answer :lol:

they asked me. 'depends how much junks in the car' was my reply.

What are flux like for insurance on modified cars?

I'm with them and id say the service is very good. told them all the mods I've done and as long as i dont go over 200bhp i can do what i want. plus i always get a straight answer and theyll ring me instead of being on hokd for years on end. gotta find out my premium for next year and how much if i wanna go up a power band - just incase ;)

Flux are good even with standard cars, I saved £400 with them and are pretty good with the claims too.

Try aviva, when i rang up and said it was lowered he didnt have a option for lows on his list so had to check with his manager, his manager asked how much by and why i had lowered it and i said "about 80mm, its a vw polo, you can get your head in between the tyre and the arch, it looks abit gay" to which he said okay and added £100 a year on :p
