i believe that ONCE was the law. not anymore?

[thedeadwalk]

best way to find out is call the rta (or what ever you guys call it down there)

100mm ground clearance, retain 2/3 of original suspension travel. ADR Rules.

in SA there is an eyebrow height for each model, centre of wheel to the guard. Call Regency Park for your exact heights.

Spot on you need 100mm to the lowest point (no matter what it is) and legal eye brow heights too, just depends on what car you own.

[SIG-054]

they dont enforce the 100mm rule unless yu go through regency itself, when you drive over the pits there is a concrete block 100mm high and you must clear it.. i rekon my front bar would smash into it at the moment lol

VS is 360mm (front) and 350mm (rear). These are the minimum heights that retain 2/3 of suspension travel.
My VS has Lovells Superlows and it sits too low by about 20mm all around. Legally, you could only go to Low or FE2 springs I think.

What coke cans do you drink from? The standard 375ml can is 129mm tall. I just measure one from the fridge then.

Maybe he means lying down?

[Grennan]

Laying down it would be about 60mm

Most places its 100mm at the lowest point, so if you have an exhaust that hangs a little low, its 100mm from the bottom of the exhaust. Also that is fully laden. So if youre driving around at 80mm with boot load of stuff, you cant say oh let me take everything out of the car and it will be legal.

come to pirie mate here you drive over the 100mm block and if you clear it and they think your still too low then they measure your ride (their freaks here)

Anywhere that isn't the wheels...
