To Raise or Not To Raise?? That is the question

[koztek55]

hmm long weekend in vic, considering raising the coilovers, but cbf, out my way the popo are like a rash, every corner you turn they are there. why cant we just drive in peace! we wont harm anybody for having our cars low...

Lube the shafts with Marine Grease while you're at it. It makes it soooo much easier.
It's worth raising up, or not driving the car at all. (for the weekend)

I know, **** the ride-height rules. 100mm is ****ing boring officer.
Nothing we can do about it.

you drive a volkswagen, as long as you're behaving, shouldn't have any issues!

True man, both mk2 and mk1 never got done. Mk2 i got pulled over a few times and they never said anything, mk1 i had cops right behind me a few times with no issues.

I drove through a breath testing station, my Mercedes with 3 pissed mates in it all smelling like garlic kebabs, and got waved right through.
Gave me some weird feeling of being respected and trusted. Was cool.

That said, I wouldn't drive a slammed anything on this particular weekend. I saw five too many cop cars on a 10 minute drive to my mates place tonight.

My MK2 is real low. Too low for the country roads I drive on but I've never been pulled up. Probably because I look too old to be a hoon.

There's some advantages to being an old fart.

Have you ever been pulled for being too low? As long as you're not throwing sparks or driving like a tw*t you should be ok. Mine is well below the 100mm limit and i've never had any issues (mainly because all the cops up here are sneaky b*stards hiding in unmarked vans and behind bushes).

I drove my multicoloured, slammed and VERY noisy mk1 around for 4 weeks and never got looked at twice

also drove Sooty around SLAMMMMEEDDD on the stockies for 30,000km's and not one popo pulled me up

got to have some advantages for driving a lunch box

ive been pulled over once in the mk2 for a breath test, when i used to have the magna, i was pulled over like every week lol, cut springs on bump stops, i should be fine, dont really drive the car to hard because it aint to fast, but lets see, should be all good though this w/e i'll just take it easy and keep my eyes open.

I'm basically staying the **** off the road this weekend.
There's things that can be defected on my car. I wouldn't get done for hooning though.
