Hi,
I have just bought an NA and it sits 520mm from bottom of 16" rim to arch thats 12" from center of wheel, it drives like go-kart, it has normal shocks but lowered springs, i have been told by Pedders Qld that the minimum they would ever do is 540mm just wondering if the car is legal, because if you press down on the wing it goes nowhere

Qld transport rules are 100mm min to any part of the car excluding lower control arms and wheels, so what that means is you MUST be able to pass a 100mm block under the vehicle without fowling any part. If you get a pandantic inspector they can measure it with min of 120kgs in the car.
Thems the rules, most people make sure the lower control arms are level as a maximium, and that centre of rim to guard are approx 12.5" f and 13 rear.
Me, my Clubbie is exactly nearly sortof 100mm ????????
