You can NOT alter your vehicles suspension above or below 2" of ride height. Later, QD.

Pretty much, although they let the trucks do it :thinking:

[jew_boy]

A bill (H.B. 192) has been introduced in the Georgia legislature by Rep.
Bobby Parham that would ban ANY vehicle whose suspension was altered more
than two inches above or below the factory recommendation. Previously, this
law only applied to private passenger cars - not trucks. The bill also
requires lenses on taillights to meet federal standards and not be "covered
or consist of anything other than reflective material installed as original
factory equipment or its equivalent replacement."


o H.B. 192 would ban reasonably altered vehicles due to overstated concerns
with bumper mismatch.

o H.B. 192 discriminates against hobbyists and aftermarket parts makers by
leaving it solely to the vehicle manufacturers to choose vehicle heights.

o H.B. 192 would force owners of modified vehicles to spend large sums of
money to reinstall original components.

o H.B. 192 would ban useful alterations that provide adequate clearance for
on/off road capability and accommodate heavy loads, larger tires, improved
suspension and water-fording capability.

o H.B. 192 would ban taillamp covers even when the lamps are not in use.

Where do these laws get enforced?

In Warner Robins, nothing like exhaust, height, etc has been enforced, or so I've seen. According to these laws my mustang is illegal to drive, not to mention my exhaust. I've accidentally driven by a cop at 3500+ rpms with highly illegal exhaust and nothing is said.

Oh well, domestics that don't get paid attenton to FTW.:D

ah yes, my workplace. Nothing like $5.85 per hour on a part time job to pay $50 per week in gas and $200 per 3 months on insurance.

How loud is it? I don't know if you heard it when I sometimes run 1st gear out from the light to the parking lot or if i shifted.

[Catnip]

Loud as hell and ran a 14... that night all my friends and girlfriend(ex now...) were there too.


But did it look to be launching hard?
I broke my friends shifter in his 97 rattle canned civic (B16a) shifting to second when he let me race it, still ran a 15.1

haha, feels like it launches hard. It never really hooks up without slicks, but i dont have any:( . Pretty sure im gonna miss it if I sell it just because the low end torque and such.

2.1 most of the night.

[jadakid88]

wow! i only thought that law was in ca.

[01CDMLUDER]

whats gay is that the cops will only pull over imports that are lowered a few inches and not trucks that are jacked up a few feet!! i dont get pulled over for anything but i hate it when a jacked up truck gets behind me and their lights are blinding me bc they're up so high!

[skillzilla]

actually thats not a link, thats a url, this is a link.

http://www.google.com

Thats actually not a URL, smart ass, its a domain. Next time you sharp-shoot someone make sure you're correct.

[southside]

my friend got pulled over driving my other friends car the cop pulled us over for no reason. Then when he got up close he seen it was a small ass crack in the window.He was like i pulled you over cuz you had a crack in your window. I think it was cuz the car was too low ,because he asked is this legal we was like what he was like having your car this low.He said i didnt know if it was my friend kept tellin him its been lowered right with tein and DOT approve he was like ok.

Is the same thing moron, domain is a dumby term for it. Thanks for trying.

[skillzilla]

Actually, its NOT the same thing, dummy. Once again, try taking your own advice and googling an answer before you respond back. A URL requires a defined protocol to be valid. www.abc.com is a domain, http://www.abc.com is a URL. So are https://www.abc.com, ftp://www.abc.com, ftps:// etc. You get the point.

The two are not interchangeable.

dumby

No results found for dumby.
Did you mean dumbo (in dictionary) or Dumboy (in encyclopedia)?

[liquidforcd3]

damn...im fu.cked. im about 2 inchs from the ground

[HachiDori]

**** that law.....http://a581.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/44/l_5496b3a37519788494270a1c6ae43b6c.jpg

[d_day87]

pendergrass police (on the way to commerce) enforce the hell out of everything. if you have a modified car with anything done to it, don't go to pendergrass. i know people with quiet exhaust that looks like it would be a fart can, and they pull them over and find 57 different things to write tickets for. hillbillies i swear

[Catnip]

I wish my datsun had that much ground clearance.


:ninja:

[nDrew]

havent heard anything yet in GA

[speedminded]

They dont usually trip on being low in my area.Think thats the least of cops problems around here.It's a reason to pull you over silly. If they're suspicious of someone having drugs, alcohol, etc. they need a reason to pull them over: seatbelt violation, tint, loud exhaust, colored lights, or if they're all out of other options they can almost always say it's lowered too much. Whether they plan on giving a ticket or warning it just gets you on the side of the road to see how nervous you act.

[wrekonize]

thats a dumb law what if you were over weight and when you drove you car it slammed more that two inches would you still be ticketed...

[speedminded]

thats a dumb law what if you were over weight and when you drove you car it slammed more that two inches would you still be ticketed...LOLOL, how low of a spring rate do you suppose that would take? As soft as a worn out 70's Cadillac and it still wouldn't do that.
