Speaking of suspension and the law - can someone (anyone) clarify on the legality of lowering -
As I understand it, the ride height must be high enough that the lowest point of the car is at least 10cm off the ground, yeah? (NSW by the way)

Cheers guys!

LOL at who needs suspension anyway. I used to adjust my suspension by letting air out of the tyres !!! That wasnt in my EA though so lets not go there.
