suspension and defects

[anzai]

another suspension question..

im contemplating of buying a set of height adjustable coilovers for the main purpose of getting rid of the ugly 3 finger and 2 finger gaps on the front and rear respectively.

if i was to get done by the boys in blue and receive a minor defect, my understanding is i would need to fix the cause of defect and head to vicroads to get it checked and cleared.

in this case would i be able to simply re-adjust the height of the coils so it passes the legal clearance, or would i need to change it back to stock setup?

how does it differ with major defects which requires RWC?

thanks guys :thumbsup:

if you adjust it to get defect cleared then lower it again, i suggest getting another wheel allignment as it might be out once you relower it

if the defect for the car to low then yes from what i know you can just raise it and when you pass just lower it again. easy as 1.2.3
goodluck mate :D

depends if you get done for the height or "stiffness". i read earlier this year, someone from here got done for having too stiff a setup that it was deemed unsafe on the roads.

if its for the height, i'd assume you'd only have to raise it back to a reasonable height. if it's too stiff, then you might have to change the whole setup to make it legal as most coilovers have a very high spring rate in comparison to the standard shock/spring set up.
