as for the exhaust being too low?

you know that between the two axles youre allowed to be lower then 10mm

its in the ADR rules ... cant remember exactly but states something about having to be higher then 100mm forward of the front axle and behind the rear axle, but inbetween you multiply the distance of something by 33.33 ... cant remember exactly... but yeah, allowed to be lower then 100mm inbetween the two axles

VSI 8 covers ride height - http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/rdonlyre...8340/0/VSI8.pdf

A car can be lower than 100mm, provided the height point is calculated in the VSI.

However, generally people have the issue with the cat, or rear muffler, which is within 1m of the axle generally, hence 100mm applies

thanks spunky munky, will keep that in mind if needed. yeah your right, i have always been putting it off fixing those things so now i have to do it which isnt too bad. i found out today that i might be getting advan v103's all round for a bargain price because the good guys at the tyre place busted the sales reps balls as to why there is no supply of the other tyres i chose in australia at all and the odd mismatch of yoko's available that i finally chose was a concern to them in regards to handling. top blokes hey!

thats a pretty nifty fact ruffels, unfortunately my second pipe is right under the diff..ha. 1 metre doesnt give much to play with =)

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
