Help from ACT GQ owners?
Help from ACT GQ owners?
Anyone know how high a GQ can be lifted (legally) in ACT? I have seen a few 6" kits for sale but don't want to spend the cash if I'm going to get hassled by the fuzz. What about tyre size? I want to go at least 4" up with 37"mtrs. Do I need to get an engineers certificate? Help me out Canberra guys.
the best way to get a modified vehicle rego'd in canberra nowadays is to register it at someones house in NSW.
4" springs with 37's you might be OK, their pet hate now is lack of spray supression (open space in the wheel arches) which with that combo you will have only slightly more than stock. you'll need mudflaps all round, and you'll need to do the swerve and brake/handling tests out at the dragway. allow about a grand for engineering costs and you'll be right.

OK XXL,
PM me your fax number & I will send you the copies of the regs regarding wheels & tyres. I can't be bothered typing it all up as the rule for wheels is three pages long.
Basically what it says is you can raise it as high as you like without modifying of the components to suit. you need to work out how far you need to go without changing things like panhard rods, control/trailing arms & the like.
Tyres are a bit different basically you can go up 15mm or down 26mm in ovarall diameter & 50mm wider in track. Outside this & you need an engineers cert. As I said it is three pages long so you need to read it.
As for the guards, if you set them up as per ADR 42/02 Section 15.2 & can proove you have designed to those specs you will have less trouble.
Be patient as the regs covering your car are very complicated & have many sections to refer to .
Like I said PM me & I can send you that stuff,
Good Luck.
