    your better to go with a 16v and coilovers set up... people do coilovers to death because they're bloody good.

    The law is under 110kw, and the ABF and the KR 16v's are both within limits... anyways, who's going to know?

    True true.

    Ill see how it goes.

      everything is converted from USD to AUD

      1,650.00 USD = 1,999.28 AUD for the kit

      229.00 USD = 277.502 AUD for shipping

      so all up about 2,300 for a set of specially built mk1 kits ohh yeahh

        and btw... coppers will sooner defect you for having air ride (although its legal??? ) than having a 16v under your clanger

            The US kits won't be legal in Australia, I don't think. You need the emergency pressure back-up, like the GAS kits from Germany and I don't think that's a requirement in the US?

            They aren't allowed full-stop in Tassie - my friend's Rodeo ute got a 'bomb sticker' for running them

              Because they can... I respect what coppers do, must be a thankless job sometimes, but there are wankers in every profession so lets not get into cop bashing n:

              they usually act in the your best interests.... there are just a few that are tottally inept of reason however

                Not really having a personal dig at you but, i wonder how people come up with the logic that they have done up cars with loud exhausts, massive rims, slammed to the deck and drive round town blasting doof doof then have the hide to say they're being picked on and cops are wankers for pulling them over and defecting them.

                I would pull a car over if i were a cop that was obviously on air bags and grinding on the road as it drives along... it's part of there job and is a safety issue amongst all other laws that are in use, they're there for a reason.

                  Yeah i see how big rims, big exhaust, slamed and loud music are dangerous.

                  I thought it was a free country.

                  A evo owner got pulled over and defected for having his car to low, he had 4000$ worth of sports suspention.....defintly unsafe. They had a go at my mate coz he had a after market steering wheel which was fitted properly...thats when he got stoped by da booz bus...on his Ls with his mum after they checked the whole car inside and out for defects and found non...and they did it all with atitude.

                  Fair enough they follow the legislation but the legislation is stupid, they defect a $40k S15 but let kents get away with cars that piss out black smoke, one wheel hanging off and floor thats rusted through.

                        im cool with that bro,
                        good point!!! each to their own
                        as long as the person, when defected, doesnt come and whine about it on here
                        i dont mind whinging about defects that were obvious bullsh@t and targeting by coppers, but cars that are asking for it and then wonder why they get it get on my nerves because its whinging about stuff that coulda been avoided!

                            heres a good Aussie retailer, should be legal, they are the biggest seller in Australia so should be reliable.

                              Cops pick on common cars, falcodores, skylines, silvia's etc, my volvo got pulled over and they didn't even think about defecting my car, they decided to get me for not showing my rear p plate, because they don't know where to start looking on most europeon cars.

                              Airbags, unless stock are illegal in QLD and TAS it seems, but other states, as long as your driving at legal height, why would they even know it's there? Though for it to be engineered, it has to have a fixed position above legal ride height and the low height can only be when stopped.

                                correct, and to be legal in any state, it has to have a auto adjust when started... and when driving you must NOT play with the switches or ride hight
