Just wondering what the legal limit is for lowering these days , i can't remember the exact limit is 'mm' from years ago , but i remember it was something like ...... the lowest part of the car / exhaust / spoiler / whatever / could be no lower than the height of a coke can , in other words it should be possible to stand a can of coke up under the car at its lowest point , is it still the same rule these days ? cheers

100mm with other rules governing min height to the centre of your lights etc.
edit - Ground clearance, not how far you can lower it lol. |

there's a bunch of rules for lowering a car- even down to speciffics of 2/3 of the original bump stop clearance etc. the 100mm must be at the lowest point of the vehicle with all seating positions filled or cargo loaded.
not that I care- mines 60mm under the diff with fuel and just me......

It's about 100mm in Victoria, which is about the size of a coke can (~95mm).
I thought it was with a normal load (which means 3 people and 3/4 tank of fuel) Cheers
