My seats are ADR approved and allowed to be installed in the car. All the engine modifications meet ADR standards.

Try telling that to the plod. Anything shiny or different and the only course of action for a police officer is to defect.

An engineers report will hopefully be enough to stop them from issueing an unecessary defect.

But if you have illegal things on your car, then there's nothing that can help you...

My2c

had a gtt with fmic piping that I sprayed black & pod filter + ssqv bov that came with the car, (I heat shielded the pod) , hks hi power silent exhaust etc etc

never got around to getting engineers cert. for my mods...

pulled over twice in the 2 years I had it, once at an RBT & once by the operation taipan car when I was driving along the great western

both times asked to pop the bonnet, both times asked if I had an engineers certificate for my mods which the answer was obviously no, both times let off on a warning

case in point someone at work at the time had a gtst with comparable mods & an engineers cert. still Got canaried

I didn't know how extensive his mods were or who did his engineers cert.

But I'd say it more comes down to the attitude of the officer & your own attitude as well

as others have said engineers certificate can help but not a guarantee

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      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.
