Ride Heights

[owen18]

Hey guys
Had a quick look on the forums but couldn't find what i was looking for, probably using wrong key words.
Whats the legal ride height for a VL? I bought my car lowered and often have problems with it rubbing if i hit a bump to hard (panhard bar ive been told...moneys the issue getting that atm). So i was wondering if its been lowered past legal height, and also where do i measure to check??
Cheers

345mm Front
295mm Rear


Measure from the top of the guard, to the middle of the hub/centre

its only illegal if you cant turn your front wheels lock to lock without hitting guards and the lowest point of the vehicle including exhaust is over 100mm's



had a look at your car the front looks to be at the right height i probably wouldn't lower up front but the rear can go much lower

here are some pics of my old cars for reference to height

this is how low mine sits had to roll inner front guard lip and shaved some from rear as well. slight rub/tire getting chewed when i hit a decent dip in road (Front tires)or with a passanger will get back with measurements when i can be bothered to get up from watching NCIS :P

Owen if you want to keep legal in SA stick to Stealthys measurments and guide
the 100mm rule is interstate

Keep in mind SA also has the 100mm rule, and some cars at legal eye brow height will have less than 100mm clearance, thus still defectable.
