Your last sentence is a bit confusing, but if you change your ride and by the sound of it you have coilovers, any height adjustment will generally require a alignment after.If you want people to help you with your questions type them properly.......

I think what he is trying to explain is everytime you lower the car, the wheels will start to camber in which allows for more aggresive wheel offsets to be used without any guard mods.

This is from personal experience - optimal offsets lowered approximately 340mm all round measured from center of wheel to guard.

18x8 +30; 18x9+30

18x8.5 +35/+30; 18x9.5 +38/+35

The above with 235 and 265 front and rear rubber respectively will require no rolling of guards. Fronts may have slight scrubbing on inner plastic guard on full lock if lowered excessively. Just quoting offset of wheels without reference to wheel width is useless.

factory GTT wheels are 17x7.5 +40 all round.

Well unless the 1000's pairs of factory GTT rims i have seen are are duds, i swear they are +35.even on my 180sx has Gtt wheels which say +35 on the inside of them.But anyway

Post a pic of the wheel and we'll tell u if they are indeed the GTT wheels you are refering to.

    • 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?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
