From what I've read before you can't get a permit for coilovers if the ride height is adjustable. Could be wrong

I have just filled out the application now and am about to send it off...from my understanding the department of transport will go over the application and let me know what i can and can't get permits for.

I mostly want to get permits for the pod filter, coil overs and exhaust system...all of which do comply to ADR's as far as i know....
- pod filter is secured with brackets
- coilovers have brake line brackets attached
- ride height is above 100mm all the way around.
- exhaust system will be changed to legal db level.

obviously my wheels are not ADR compliant so i would go through the pits with stock wheels on.

im just wanting to hear from people that have gone through this process...please keep the comments useful in this thread as i understand the pro's and con's of modifying your car this way....i am simply wanting to get permits for as many modifications as i can just to make the boys in blue and the department of transport happier.

Obviously many of us run modifications without permits, myself included at the moment so i do understand the opinions that would be expressed about this matter. But i simply want to here from people that have gone through this process and if they could express the type of procedure they went through, any issues they ran into and simply advice on the best way to go about it

thanks in advance

^^^ With that attitude it will count for nothing.

This^^ sometimes the difference between you getting a yellow or not comes down to your attitude...

If you're being a smart ass to them it won't matter if you have a crappy mod cert... they will ping you for something.

The mod cert will be benificial should you recieve a sticky as you can just take it too the pits without having to convert back to stock. Even with the certificate a cop can still deem your car un-road worthy.

i done this before, for similar things on my car. Sent off the form, took over a month to get a letter back, stating what mods can / can't be done. It then had a list of engineers in perth which you need to take the car to, to make sure all the mods are safe and legal, once they have checked off everything you can be issued with a mod permit.

my only issue is that taking it to an engineer to get checked over is really expensive, and probably just cheaper and easier to put stock parts back on and take over pits if you get yellowed.

In saying that, I had a friend who got yellowed a while back, he took it over the pits expecting to fail and they issued him with a mod permit for his pod, exhaust and bucket seats and passed him. Not too sure how that works, because last time i asked at the pits, they said I needed to fill out the form, and get it engineered??

My mate did the same thing and got a mod permit on the spot for a pod filter and exhaust. I dont understand when we are suppose to send the mod application form off or when we can just get a mod permit written out by an inspector at the pits. guess they just make the rules up whenever they want...

Its because those items are not safety items, they're noise/emissions related, unlike suspension etc
