Simple answer-->>

Ask your insurance company.... What will probably happen is if you car is stollen and Springs and struts are stolen(which will never happen) the insurance co will only pay for stock springs and struts. Even if that happened Struts and Springs from the Dealership will cost more than aftermarket ones anyway so just have the place repairing your car put the same ones(aftermarket) back in. It's really no big deal.

With NOS you many have to itemize that and they may surcharge you since your car will be considerably faster. Hotrodders do this sometimes..

as long as you have recipts for everything, insurance has to replace it...different insurance companys won't replace certain things...mine didn't replace any of my cds or my radar detector when they were stolen, but they gave me money for the rest of the system...just so long as you keep the recipts, they will replace everything in the car (they won't replace free-floating items like jackets etc. unless your insurance company is different than mine)
