Nice for forking out more for coilovers, I don't have that much cash yet lol, how much we're they? As what have you found out as far as legality goes in qld?

picked them up for 1200$ shipped to door.

as far as the legal side goes i dont have a clue. i just dont want to attract too much attention so they wont be stupidly low.

. I have noticed though ever since owning the RA the cops love to have a good look. Specially being young they think im a dickhead when my last car looked like a classic hoon and never got pulled over

no they have to prove that the damage was of direct result of have the coliovers put on , if it isnt of direct result it would not matter if they were on or not , as the damage still would have occurred, hope that sheds some light :)

Yep, this..

Also coilovers are legal mod as long as you keep the suspension above the legal limit, which is 10cm on the lowest point.
Ran into some trouble with my last car, it was 10cm at the front lip but underneath car there were bits that were lower :P ahh good times

thats the rule here in Qld not sure if its an Australia wide thing.

just have a look under ur car coz sometimes eventhough you got space to drop the exhaust might be hanging a bit.

Isn't 40k over the limit a loss of license over here?
