    the lowest point needs to be 100mm or more off the ground.
    if you get pulled up they will roll a little wheel under your car and if it hits anywhere, they know your too low. In QLD that is.

    You do know a coke can is more than 10cm tall?

    In all states it is the same - must be 10cm clearance, watch those big mufflers

    this is a part out of the transport sa guides and regulations
