modification Which state has the least strict modification laws?

[Minto_bug]

So I've been doing research to try and find which state is most lax when it comes to vehicle modifications but I've been struggling to come up with conclusive evidence other than SA is the strictest, so i was wondering if you guys know from experience or research, which state is most lax when it comes to vehicle modifications.

P.S. This extends to not just the laws themselves but also whether or not the cops are likely to crack down on modified vehicles, legal or otherwise.

It is going to be more of a case of finding an Approved person who is able to certify the modifications that is then going to be accepted for registration purposes in that State.

I do remember a recent crack down on the ride height of 4WDs in QLD which caused an outcry.

I have seen the measuring wheel in action being used on a lowered Commodore or Falcon ute. I did not know what it was at the time except the motorcycle cop removed it from his panniers. It looked like he was measuring the ride height clearance of the diff housing. I reckon that that driver would have gotten a defect notice and maybe also a speeding ticket..

Michael this is what I found for NSW as far as modifications ..street rods etc I know NSW Police even though busy with COVID are still hitting over modified cars as we saw Police and RTA guys going over a Commodore yesterday with measure sticks etc

yeah I did read about that QLD 4WD incident, I'll avoid any extreme ride height changes, and thanks for the links
