measurement of headlight to ground?

[d15z1SUX]

whats the measurement of the bottom of healight to the ground for a eg civic sedan? reason im asking is because in WA the legal height needs to be 500mm from the bottom of the headlight to the ground. when my car was on super low springs it failed that but the inspector didnt tell me how much under i was. so yeh just wondering how much i can legally lower my car.

You're in WA still? I think you just answered your own question there.

Measure and see.

You can't pick the test to see how much you can lower your car. Generally 100mm from lowest point, but you have to of course pass the test for headlights.

I'm under the impression it is 600mm in NSW.

yeh i passed the 100mm clearance thingy. just not the 500mm from bottom of headlight to ground. i actually thought i was gonna be all cool to pass. i thought my headlight was easily 500mm from the ground but alas i was wrong. oh well back to the drawing board.
