    lowest point of the car to be 100mm above ground level, any lower is not legal. That Bora looks cool though...

    In NSW it's no lower than 100mm and must maintain 2/3rds of the original suspension travel.

    Lower it more, and just run the risk of being defected.

    Nar mk4s are the best. Mines 30mm off the ground and cops don't even look at it cos the exhaust and sills are still miles in the air

    Pretty much. You also have rim width restrictions to consider.

    Basically the euros dont get targetted mainly because they arent out driving like knobs. Thats why the jap grey market gets smashed. Because tools ruined it for everyone else.

    IF you drive like a knob, dont bitch about the defect.
