They do custom? Are they anygood? I thought kmac did dodgy shit that VN owners bought?

Well with a heating torch & a pipe bender you can be your very own custom sway bar manufacturer... Have a look at the current whiteline cattledog. You will see that there isn't alot of science in it.

Yeah Kmac do custom...i have them on mine....27 up front atm...and 20 at rear. But they f**ked up the oreder first time....took me 3 months to get the first set. and they were totally wrong, so i sent my original down with the set and they remade them, i still havent recieved my old ones back yet. As for performance, they seem to hold the car well, need a thicker back one i think, but shit house service, and an good bar, i havent used whiteline so i cant compare them.

Oh and i just got non adjustable swaybars too, they do, do some really good adjustable ones apparantly.

Whiteline can make the cars for you, just depends if they want to, in their catoluges they have up to 34 or something mm thick bars. 24mm is the biggest standard line they do though.

Steve can go f**k him self, for legal reasons I will not make mention of what happened over the internet, however he better think himself lucky I didn’t take the matter further.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
