Ke36 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 hey guys just been talking to a motorsport guy at work and he said that coilovers wre now illegal in road cars fullstop, said hes mate that does warrants was saying that a law got passed/came into effect a couple of days ago, so now it doesnt even matter if you have cert etc? was due to the fact the cars height can be changed to unwoffable standard etc rang the cert guy and he said he didnt know anything about it was news to him and was doubtfull it was true etc just wondering since there are a few guys on here who have wof authority and may be a few that can cert stuff whats the go? the guy at work is switched on older fella so dont see why he would be making it up but maybe thought he just got it a bit wrong and they need to be certed (which has always been the case) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaMpylobacter Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 definitely isn't. otherwise they wouldn't have let my sister's bf get cert for his coilovers like a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay GTi Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Have lost count of the number of times I've heard supposed experts spout of crap like this, always coming from 'a mate who is a mechanic/certifier/engineer/cop'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismo.capri Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 just been talking to a motorsport guy at work and he said that coilovers wre now illegal in road cars fullstop, said hes mate that does warrants was saying that a law got passed/came into effect a couple of days ago, so now it doesnt even matter if you have cert etc? Fact of the matter is if your car is legal the gunmmint can't change the laws to make your car illegal. For example cars from 19XX on must have seat belt's for all passenger seats, my capri only has seatbelts on the front yet it still gets WOF's becasue it predates the laws. It's also why some cars that got decleration papers are legal even tho they wouldn't pass a cert today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ke36 Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 yea problem was my car isnt legal with the coilovers yet so i wouldnt have been able to get them certed thats why i was concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
