Approval for suspension mod


elmo

Recommended Posts

Greetings all,

I have a quick non-technical but legal related question:

If i lower my ride (corolla ascent sedan 06 model) by just 30mm. Do i need to get approval from DPI (i am from WA)

Correct me if im wrong, common sense tells i shouldnt need to seeing that the stock ground clearance is already 160mm :angry:

and with the lowering will still keep the car well above 100mm yes?

However the DPI site is being somewhat vague on this page http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/licensing/1883.asp

The following clause:

Approval for other modifications, including those effecting steering, brakes, suspension or which involve major structural changes to vehicles (e.g.. Volkswagen convertibles and cabriolet conversions) must be obtained through the Licensing Services Vehicle Safety Branch prior to commencement.

I emailed the DPI about 2 months ago regarding CAIs, and where the hell my personalised LP was.

Still waiting for a reply.

Just call them - they have a freecall number. Given what I last saw in Perth, you should be able to get away with it. You might have luck calling a tyre place like Bob Jane and asking them for their opinion.

Yea i was going to but then realised today is saturday and i wont be able to find out from them until early next week so i might as well check with other forum members to see if anybody else has similiar experience before.

I made my deposit for Eibach kit this morning then after i left the shop then i remembered that i havent check with DPI thoroughly regarding the suspension mod matter :o (although i been checking with my insurance provider almost whole week to find out what i can or cant do)
