Should have asked them then and there "what is the legal height".

Man that's awesome, if that's not in the knowledge base it should be.

hmm that pdf is goood..

 

minimum eye brow height for a ke70 is 345mm, which is the distance from the centre of the wheel, to the edge of the guard.

 

i dare say to comply with that the car would have to be quite high.

I just love the fact that it does not specify an eyebrow height for KE20!!! :ninja: :) :laff:

 

There is still the minimum 100mm from the ground rule however that would allow you to lower it still quite well.

 

As for it being in the knowledge base, keep in mind it is for SA only. From what I understand, InTrenches is from SA :(

Twinky i did but i had nothing to write it on and forgot.

Hang on a minute guys; this is now out of date information.

 

This the page to go to.

 

Check the PDF "Requirements for raising or lowering vehicle ride height/October 2009"

 

This document specifies nothing about eyebrow heights. The only place you should get this information from is straight from the horses mouth, the DTEI themselves. Anything else (like Luke's link) may possibly be outdated.

100mm only applies to fore of front and aft of rear axles. In between is dependent on the wheelbase of the vehicle (measurement in mm, multiply by 33.33, this is the value of the height in the centre of the two.

 

I would calculate this and write it down inside your glovebox lid in permanent texta. Keep a copy of that bulletin as well.

weird if you were to still ring regency they say eyebrow hieghts.

[LukeAE71]

I reckon the average Mr Plod on the side of the road would go by eyebrow heights too.

 

Then again if you pull out the book etc and show him he will just end up sending you to Regency for being a smartass :( They don't like it when you know your stuff and quote it. I have been done for being prepared before :ninja:

[Oh-KE]

In SA it's 335mm front and 320mm rear.
