too low - options..

[linxus40]

well i got defected for being too low and i dont want to go out and get new suspension so asking for options.

min legal height is 100mm

measured my car and its prolly 95mm at its lowest.

both places are my exhaust

2 points that are definately too low are the rear muffler - about 4-5mm there

and about 10-15cm before the cat - bout 5mm again.

i dont want to get bigger wheels, ive taken my sub out to make the back sit higher and ill go get tested with very little fule to lift it more.

if i take it to an exhaust shop is there much they can do ot lift the exhaust. if i do this how much would i expect to pay

what else is my options?

Had the same thing happen to me was defected and only by a couple of mill. What i did was i went to the servo and pumped the sh*t out of the tyres. Should get a couple of mill there. How much tread on your tyres if there low get a new set and you should have enough. Hope that helps.

well i assume your exh system is after market so can you borrow a standard system of mates or something? or other wise if you dont mind banging it in then hit it with a hammer 5mm! heard of ppl doin it...

they shouldnt charge too much to fix you exhaust up, it would be just a matter of modifying or welding new hooks to it.

cheers

well i also got defected for bald tyres, the inner 5-10mm had no tread on 3 of em. they go in on wednesday and i got till fri to get it sorted so will go to exhaust shop after new tyres if im still too low.

get some fat thick hard rubber from clark rubber or similar place and shove it in the rubber exhaust mounting loops to raise the exhaust hooks up a bit.. should work well to pass defect at least for a quick cheap fix...

tried borrowing bigger rims off a mate? might raise it up a bit. or slip someone $100 to clear it up

thanks for all the replys guys, had a good look under the car today with it on axle stands and found that the bolt holding the muffler mounting point to the car was missing.

added a bolt to mount the muffle to the car and now my exhause sits about 110-115mm, plenty of room to pass vicroads.

man glad that saved me a lot of cash

thanks again
