Just wondering if anyone has been through inspection in australia and been told the legal height limits for the VTi-R teggy, mines a 95 model.

currently on SUPERLOW Kingsprings.
i just brought LOW kingsrpings to raise it up a little to advoid the defect.

however i just need to know the height requirements of the HUB to Guard (eyebrow height) its usally done in (mm)

im not woried about the height of the car from ground 2 front bar, that is taken care of already.

Thanks

General rule of the thumb is that a coke can must ba able to go under the car...

Under all points of the car

11? did they raise it from the 10cm it used to be?

As far as i know, they dont care about the distance from the hub to the guard, they just have a long stick with a 10cm (or 11cm?) diameter wheel on the end. They just roll that under various points of the car and if it touches the body then you are too low.

Pity if you drive a Mercedes A Class. they have about 8.5cm clearance from the factory!

I was always under the impression the minimum clearance required is 10cm at the lowest point

yeah 10cm, and that means ALL of your car so that means no dangly exhausts etc

mudguard as well?

**Speeder** · 26-01-2005 05:15 PM

i dont think mudguards are classified as a chassis

i thought it was 10cm excluding bodykits and lips ???

i think someone should just find the rule and post it instead of everyone guessing..

I dont know where you got the excluding bit from... from my knowledge on most cars its considered illegal to change the bumpers as they dont meet Australian standards, correct if wrong. Drop'in your car 1.5" won't attract your local police too much and remember the car will get lower when you and passengers get in.

no i definatly know the rule is 100mm (10cm) from the ground

in SA anyways we have 2 laws

* 100mm at all times clearance

* and eyebrow height, which is HUB TO GUARD which is Differnt for every car.

i need to know that height, because in SA they check both heights.

im clearly aware of the 100mm(10cm) rule

just thought someone might of been defected for it in SA before.
