NSW Coppers v Coilovers

[Hairy_mic]

http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/documents/...ifications.pdf

Going to be fitting my coilovers soon,

I researched the legality of coilovers when a kid at work said that that they have been known to defect people with them.

When i drop my car i will be making sure that the lowest part of the car is 100mm from the floor, legal tires/wheel sizes
On the face of it i suppose the car will just look a little lower than standard.
I take it spacers are not kosher either ?

What are peoples experiences of NSW cops have they ever got anybody on this, or does it depend on the cop involved (you all know the type)

If i have read the document above correctly it would suggest that I need to get an engineers report, is this all a grey area ?

Thanks troops.

Look at item 12 in the table - they don't require certification.

What words in there make you think you would? (In case I missed something).

Spacers are out.

Re: treatment by the police - it depends on the driver (looks, age, demeanour), the suburb, the look of the car & whether you are driving like a bell-end.

Some interesting things in that PDF.
Needing Certification for "increasing the original power output by more than 20%."
So a basic tune from 147kw to 190kw would need to be certified. Or 110kw to 150kw in the case of the MK4 GTI

But coil overs are Okay.

that's why it's best not to dyno the car
