whoever that told you its not illegal should confirm it with the local police/motor registry.

The guy that told me never said anything about illegal or not.. he just didnt mention it, thanks for mentioning it here

mate had chopped springs, the shocks fkd out then started munching the bump
stops....

another mate also had compressed springs, they fkd the shocks also, and again
ate away at the bump stops

chopped springs are illegal because they are at risk of falling out of the shock
absorber plates that the springs sit on, and they also dont allow travel once the
shocks are fkd... ur supposed to have 2 3rd's suspension travel, so this highway
patrol officer told me, he got me for being too low. on coilovers...
even though coilovers are legal...
