I wanted to add a lower front strut brace to a previous car as it had a big, heavy engine and it was flexing way too much. I'm no racing driver, but appreciate tidy handling. Mine was the "posh" model in the range, and the part I wanted to fit was an OEM part that is fitted to the "sporty" model as standard. It has no detrimental effect on handling, just stops the body flexing.
The premium hike was huge so I didn't bother. They boil all mods down into one or another category. In my case they said it was a suspension mod so would be counted the same as lowering and stiffening. I attempted to argue that it wouldn't make the car faster, but he said that they see it as a risk that I obviously felt the need to go fast round corners.
I wonder whether a DPF mod would tick the same "exhaust" box as a pimped up megaloud replacement exhaust and hike the premium accordingly.
