Ej8 Ride Height Defect

Could it be possible to bend the exhaust hangers to pull it up a tad? Unless there's no space, then you're in a bit of a pickle.

Just swap out the front suspension for oem so it sits higher, therefore the reso isnt so low, that way its a guarantee pass

just to add to this, its rim size + profile, not just the profile. iirc stock size is 175/65R14 on 14x5jj

how long do you have to clear your defect ? maybe sell them 17" and use that dosh to get some second hand springs+adjustable shocks or some coilovers. your in vic shits always cheaper :(

Try fastening the exhaust to the body with cable ties, it will take the slack out of the exhaust rubbers. It will pull it up abit, worked for me long enough to get engineered lol. Car was over 100mm, but exhaust hung around 70/80mm from the ground and I managed to bring it up. Give it a go, it doesn't last long (cable ties). But a good idea for all with low cars, maybe use metal clips for longer lasting use.
