Hi fellas,

I made the mistake of driving through the city on a Friday night, lo and behold I was defected for being too low. My question is if I can borrow anyones stock JZZ30 front struts for a few days while I take it to the inspection station, and you can have them back after that - in the Sydney area obviously.

There's a case of your choosing in it for anyone who can help.

Cheers,

Alex.

What suspension do you currently have in your car?

I have Powered by Max coilovers; specifically designed for the stance oriented. No one has stock struts?

They can't be adjusted? How low is it. Tyres are in the guards?

If they are coil overs you should be able to adjust the height. It would be alot less work, and effort to do that, than to change the units over.

Thanks David, but that isn't really a help. I have the stock struts, I just don't have any springs to go with them.

Well I'll give it a try, but the highest ride height isn't exactly really high. I guess I'll have to call up the inspection station and see what the deal is.

Minimum 100mm ground clearance for any part of vehicle ( they use a little trundle wheel thing to check ) , and I think there is a minimum height from centre of wheel to guard lip clearance ?

I have never seen a set of coilovers that wouldnt lift the bottom of the stock car above 100mm.

Ryan mine dont.. They are supra coilovers from jic. At highest settings i get about 105mm front and 87mm rear..
Will totally depend on what the defect is for. Is it a ride height defect specific or is it stipulating part of the defect is aftermarket suspension? If its just height and only partial inspection (pink) can just raise it.. If its full inspection (blue) then will have to swap struts.
