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

    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.

    Good info!

    The orginal/current law states:

    (b) It shall be unlawful to operate any private passenger motor vehicle upon any highway, roadway, or street if the suspension system of such vehicle has been altered more than two inches above or below the factory recommendation for such vehicle.

    (c) It shall be unlawful to operate any motor vehicle upon any highway, roadway, or street if the springs relative to the suspension system are broken.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
