[cb7_Rocky]

...about haveing your car lower then 2". i just got a ticket for haveing my car too low....

[blk93]

wtf

are you serious??

ive never heard f that

maynbe a law about ti being too low to the ground, but nothing about the actual hieght difference from stock, is what i would guess

[Night Wolf]

I think so...

btw how did they mesure it? cuz looking at your siggy, your car looks high

[Ralphie]

I can vouch for FLa...not Ga....but in fl the cops use to tell us that if it looks low theyll pull u over, bust out a yard stick and go from there...never heard of anyone getting a ticket but id assume if they pull you over for it there has to be a law...but then again they do like to harass ricers....that was there words not mine lol.

[blackcb7]

some places its the height of the headlight while its on or something like that

Well in fl they said they use the yard stick from the bottom of the bumper...or lip depending on what you have

[cp[mike]]

well there are DOT regulations for headlight height and such, and technically any cop can give you a ticket for it... its possible that theres laws about vehicle height as well, but im not sure. people/cops generally overlook that though and leave lowered cars alone, but more or less depending on ur area.

Something about the headlights need to be 21" off the ground or something like that. You can also get a ticket for your vehicle being lifted too high.

[perrero69]

well shouldnt camaros get stoped then? because they come droped

[AccordWarrior]

In Mass, its 2" up or 2" down. It's all subjective though, because my friend got nailed with an altered ride height back in the day.

Did you think the office just made it up on the spot?
