Don't know if it's been posted before but I just found an interesting resource for SA members regarding car and light vehicle mods.

http://www.transport.sa.gov.au/personal ... hicles.asp

Has information on requirements for lifting/lowering and a few test procedures they go through for a modified vehicle, as well as application forms for various mods.

Awesome! Thanks Sam!
Do you know what happens when you lift your vehicle so much tht you have to fill a form in?
Is this costly? Engineer?

Cheers Cam

If you intend to raise the vehicle by over 50mm by either one or
more of the three methods mentioned, then an application must
be made to Vehicle Standards prior to the commencement of the
modifications. A Statement of Requirements will then be issued
identifying the vehicle, the intended modification and any
applicable requirements, including a requirement for a report from
a CPE (Chartered Professional Engineer). On completion of the work and certification by the CPE, the vehicle would be required to pass a roadworthiness
inspection. A fee is payable for the inspection.

Hmmm, 2" lift is 50.8mm, could we get away without applying to Vehicle Standards?
