I don't see why anyone is surprised by this.
LOL! to be honest AusS2000. My handling is ten times better. when i take a hard sharp turn i barely lose traction. In wet it doesn't kick out as easy either. i love it. i always wanted to have that stance look. i need to look at getting some body work done. i was going to respray the car anyway. I'll take the wheels off. put my old ones back on. go get it cleared. and then save for bodywork

Brendan has a point (maybe if he brushes his hair the other way no one will notice) Vic Roads are not the Police. I'd hate to see you go to all the trouble and then still get in trouble with the po-po.

check with an engineer before you chop your quarter panels


vic roads should have a guideline ... maybe its one their website?
I know that RTA has one on their site which is here :
http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registrati...s_nov_2007.pdf


Bodywork and interior
There are general requirements concerning alterations to the bodywork:
No alteration may cause a hazard to persons due to exposed sharp edges or projections; and
No alteration may cause a reduction in the level of safety or overall strength of the vehicle.
