Default Legal springs

Ello, well everyone has been telling me that if I was to throw Kingsprings superlows on my EA falcon 1988 model there is a chance it will be illegal?? is that true, cause I be a little disappointed :(

thanks.

edit: or is that if I was to throw them on, and was to go for a roadworthy?

My mate got a roadworthy with Superlows on his EA. He then went on to sell it on Ebay for $3000 (with a r00ted gearbox!). It wasn't a dodgy roady either (regarding the gearbox, coz that died after he got the RWC... how convenient!)

It was a white 5 speed Ghia with an EF head, 2.5" cat-back exhaust & 17s. It went pretty well! His brother managed to sell his EA Ghia (3 speed auto, dark blue or green, a bit tidier than the white 5 speed, also with 17s) for $4k a fortnight earlier (also on Ebay). Are EAs climbing in price now???

Depends on how far the springs drop the car (every car has a different rate it will drop in height).Any lower than 100mm off the ground = canary time.

My superlows were pretty low. I got pulled over a few times and warned about the height but never defected.
