gregor Member 459 Member For: 16y 9m 26d Posted 16/07/09 03:10 AM Share Posted 16/07/09 03:10 AM (edited) FFS that is crazy. I dont care about being slammed but to police that will be stupid. My other car has been lowered (just kings lows) since around 2002, now am I expected to go and get an engineers certificate? Or is this like the window tint issue where you could just say it was done before X date.I doubt most police would pick a car 5cm lower unless a stocker and a modded one were side by side.

QUOTEAny vehicle that is raised or lowered after August 1 will have to carry a certificate stating that the modifications confirm to safety standard requirements. so any car after august 1 will have to have a certificate.. what happens to cars lowered before that?? or its goes for everyone and we will have to pay to get a certificate to confirm with requiremets.. what a joke Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/59673-breaking-newsnsw-rta-approval-required-to-lower-car-at-all-after-a/#findComment-907433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
winstor Member 611 Member For: 16y 3m 19d Posted 16/07/09 03:48 AM Share Posted 16/07/09 03:48 AM that's weird. Does that also mean that the NCOP VSB14 will have to be re-written?
