Legal ride height

[DJR34]

does anyone know the laws regarding legal ride height? im thinking of getting just a bodykit put on without lowering and from the pics ive seen itll be pretty low and i dont want to get defected every five minutes for being too low.

it has to be a coke can as a minimum from the lowest point of the car so in a skyline its normally the exhaust

i thought it was 100mm from the lowest point... (possibly the same height as a coke can)

4. GROUND CLEARANCE

The Ground Clearance of a vehicle measured from a horizontal road surface to any point on the underside of the vehicle except the tyres, wheels, wheel hubs and brake backing plates shall, with the vehicle in its loaded state as specified by the manufacturer, be not less than:

for any point in the width of the vehicle which is within one metre fore and aft of any axle, 100 mm;

for the mid-point between any two consecutive axles, the dimension in millimetres obtained by multiplying the distance between those two axles in metres by 33.33.

straight from the vicroads' mouth

the car has to be 100mm above the ground. The police can also check your ride height with a full car load so you should always make it higher then 100mm

The cops just looked under the car and go

i know the lowest point on my car is 15cm or 150mm so last time i got pulled over with my GTR bar which sits lower he said its too low and i simply argued with him saying i know the laws and i know the lowest point on my car is 15cm which is 5cm clear... i also told him even with me in it (only weigh 75kgs) that it doesnt change thanks to the stiffer springs

he shut up and said ok... on ya way
