Default Gov't vs Lowering

Hey Gang ..need some tech help here.
Short story is my 05 Turbo Vert has been denied Insurance as it could not pass Alignment specs due to the Eibach Lowering Springs i put on. The PT was not within factory specs according to the Insurance Safety Officer!!
Is there anyway to "re align" the alignment without having to R & R back to stock Spings? Never mind the expense!!

Dave

say "Screw you!" to the insurance company and go with one that doesn't check your vehicle over.

"INSURANCE SAFETY OFFICER!!!!!!
You gotta be kidding me!! I've got USAA....and when I wanted them to up soonercruiser $12K in value for all the aftermarket work; they just told me to take pictures and keep receipts!
Yup! I'd get another Ins Co.!
****************HEY FOLKS!
Don't laugh folks! This is what we've got top look forward to with the government investing and controlling the auto industry.

In you Title Line--"Gov't"--I ass u me that you are indicating Government. I see noting in you post concerning government. Elaborate please.

Question: Who is your insurance with and is your vehicle street legal?

Hi all.yep there are times I wish we were part of the USA!!..
Anyhow..yep it is the Saskatchewan government Insurance that covers & insurs all vehicles in this province. You do not have a choice of insurance companies to get your plates. You can get Insurance companies to add on to the basic government policy to cover cars like mine for paint..mods etc. Even that is a chore and costly as all get out!!

Well Guy's
I live in Ontario Canada and my toy car is a 2000 Miata SE! I was warned by my Insurance Co. Because of all the young people with the Civics and other type that hop up there cars that if I put a cold air induction and a Muffler not stock my insurance could tripple per year! BUT if I can prove the install is for better Gas milage and economy I would not be hit with the increase??
