BMA-HO 7 Report post Posted July 16, 2014 hi guys first time going to try and get a cert can someone please tell me what i need to know and what do they check and look out for when i go and get my cert for adjustable suspension. my adjustable are turned down really low. so it is under 100mm ground clearence. The front guard hits fender and thats on near full lock so i will get flared and rolled guards done. my rims is touching the suspension so im wondering if get 5mm spacers will i be able to still get a cert. is their like a way your car has to go to them like a ride height or can it be slammed and just go to them to check i just want to fix it and get it out of the way is there any thing else that needs to be done befor i go. much help will be appreciated. is there anyone who knows a good certifier can you please give me the contact number as well.

pldubs 308 Report post Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) EDIT. In no world can your wheel touch the suspension. Solution: Buy wheels that fit. Really simple, #1 --- Make sure the distance from the center of your wheel to your guard is atleast 320mm front and 290mm rear. ( could be opposite.. ) #2 --- Get a wheel alignment#3 --- organise time for cert#4 --- DONT BE LATE#5 --- Laugh at his jokes#6 --- DONT be a smartarse#7 --- Have $500 CASH ready in your back pocket cause even if you fail youre gona be paying#8 --- Drive away with a smile on your face#9 --- ( OPTIONAL ) Wind your adjustables right down, tune your camber way negative, Be a gangster.

westy 614 Report post Posted July 17, 2014 Certifiers aint scary man. Go talk to one, fix everything you/he can think of and book an inspection. Rechecks are/were $40 odd so not the end of the world. Wait for cert. Remember until cert is fixed to car you dont have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pldubs 308 Report post Posted July 17, 2014 Oh also, Make sure your camber is within 1.5 ( Feel free to correct me lads ) degrees of factory, Local tyre shop or whoever is doing your alignment should be able to hook it up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aw-krazy 45 Report post Posted August 11, 2014 pretty sure certifying laws states -3 degree maximum, anything more than that is retarted anyway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz 1042 Report post Posted August 11, 2014 I thought it was factory +/- 0.5 of a degree? Its all online somewhere anyway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
