I was at the vic roads website trying to fing out how far u can dump ur car and there is no clear indication on how much groung clearance is needed to be legal.This is the site (http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/vrne/vrnav.nsf/childdocs/-86B091E8B0F60C79CA256EC90014510E-DB1081513CC4D2E7CA256B5F007AE7F3) From what I can c but an not sure is the ground clearance should be at least 33.33 mm from the ground is that right any help would be appreciated.

Also Would lowering and integra by 60mm have an effect on stock shocks?
Will the rebond and bound still be able to do their job?
And how will the ride be?

33.33mm is only 3.33 cm man:rolleyes:

The Ground Clearance of a vehicle measured from a horizontal road surface to any point on the underside of the vehicle except the tyres, wheels, wheel hubs and brake backing plates shall, with the vehicle in its loaded state as specified by the manufacturer, be not less than:




for any point in the width of the vehicle which is within one metre fore and aft of any axle, 100 mm;
for the mid-point between any two consecutive axles, the dimension in millimetres obtained by multiplying the distance between those two axles in metres by 33.33.

Dude its all jibberish to me y dont the just say it in plain english??

[Nuttz]

just make it no lower than 10cm off the ground. thats the general rule

[SiR JDM]

yea im with nuttz.

Vicroads have a 10cm (100mm) wheel on a stick and run it under your car to see if it hits anywhere... if it clears.. your car is at legal height..

[tegstar83]

ok cool then was sorta unsure of how much clearace needed.
Wat about between the wheel and arch is there any needed there??

[Fattony]

tegstar83 if you keep the lowest point of your car 100mm laden, that means with 2 ppl and a full tank of fuel, this part is usaully your cat flange, you wont have any other issues that vic roads relate to the loweing of a motor vehicle.
