Something you might want to ask your insurance company.

Agreed ask your insurer don't go trusting any answer off the forums. Plus you need to add it to your policy once it gets lowered.

For a less than 30mm drop you should have no dramas though,,,

What I ususally tell my insurance company is that I put in heavy duty springs for towing, it helps though if you have a tow bar, but I've never had any problems with a reasonable lowering

Talk to 2 or 3 consultants in your insurance company (some of them give you cr@p info) to make sure.
