heres what i found at the bottom is a link

Transport SA
September 2003 Modifications to Passenger Cars, Car Type Utilities and Panel Vans Page 15 of 25
A vehicle's suspension system has been designed for adequate strength and durability as well as its level of ride,
comfort and handling. It is acceptable to fit upgraded springs, shock absorbers or anti-rollbars provided they
are correctly fitted and suitable for the vehicle. Some vehicle manufacturers have optional suspension
equipment available.
When lowering a vehicle body, either front or rear, the limiting factor is the clearance between the rubber bump
stop and the corresponding metal stop. This dimension must not be reduced by more than one third of that
specified by the manufacturer.
Transport SA has a list of acceptable suspension and eyebrow heights (the measurement from the centre of the
wheel vertically upward to the edge of the mudguard) for most passenger vehicles and can be contacted to
verify if the ride height of a vehicle is within acceptable limits.

http://www.transport.sa.gov.au/pdfs/per ... etin_3.pdf

page 14 hope it helps :D

8000 is 98 octane

More like is shit!!! I bought what must have been a bad batch from the Mobil on Marion Rd on Wednesday, its only now that I put Liberty Premium that its running much better. it felt like it was running without the turbo connected.
