    your better to go with a 16v and coilovers set up... people do coilovers to death because they're bloody good.

    The law is under 110kw, and the ABF and the KR 16v's are both within limits... anyways, who's going to know?

    True true.

    Ill see how it goes.

    everything is converted from USD to AUD

    1,650.00 USD = 1,999.28 AUD for the kit

    229.00 USD = 277.502 AUD for shipping

    so all up about 2,300 for a set of specially built mk1 kits ohh yeahh

    The US kits won't be legal in Australia, I don't think. You need the emergency pressure back-up, like the GAS kits from Germany and I don't think that's a requirement in the US?

    They aren't allowed full-stop in Tassie - my friend's Rodeo ute got a 'bomb sticker' for running them

    Because they can... I respect what coppers do, must be a thankless job sometimes, but there are wankers in every profession so lets not get into cop bashing n:

    they usually act in the your best interests.... there are just a few that are tottally inept of reason however

    Not really having a personal dig at you but, i wonder how people come up with the logic that they have done up cars with loud exhausts, massive rims, slammed to the deck and drive round town blasting doof doof then have the hide to say they're being picked on and cops are wankers for pulling them over and defecting them.

    I would pull a car over if i were a cop that was obviously on air bags and grinding on the road as it drives along... it's part of there job and is a safety issue amongst all other laws that are in use, they're there for a reason.

    sorry rant/

    Yeah i see how big rims, big exhaust, slamed and loud music are dangerous.

    I thought it was a free country.

    A evo owner got pulled over and defected for having his car to low, he had 4000$ worth of sports suspention.....defintly unsafe. They had a go at my mate coz he had a after market steering wheel which was fitted properly...thats when he got stoped by da booz bus...on his Ls with his mum after they checked the whole car inside and out for defects and found non...and they did it all with atitude.

    Fair enough they follow the legislation but the legislation is stupid, they defect a $40k S15 but let kents get away with cars that piss out black smoke, one wheel hanging off and floor thats rusted through.

    My rant.

    lets keep to topic...

    everyone has there own cars yes?...

    now, your not building eachothers cars? or are you doing you own ones?

    after reading all this legal preaching and whatever, i just wanted to let people know that if it is there car and they wanna put massave rims, air ride, or a rocket attached to there roof, weather or not its legal, if its not your car and your not driving it, then it shouldnt be your problem

    BTW im not directing this to anyone here, just my point
