Yeah they are, pretty gutted though as tonight started looking into the certification whether i need to certify them or not and found out i need to set them to a height and they certify them to that height +/- 5%... wats the point in having them

you dont have to certify them... just dont go to a vtnz or on rad testing station...
ive had adjustables in for over 1 year no cert, no probs,

also I3ooyaa dont have a cert also no probs.

although I havent had to WOF the VR-4 yet, got them through on my galant. VR-4 is less that 5 years old, so 1 year between WOFs yehaaa

nice choice, until you write your car off and the insurance company says "too bad, so sad, get lost"

They could do that if your suspension had something to do with the accident, but if not you could make them pay up. Might take some time and a trip to court, but hey.

The idea is that you get your car towed to your house, remove all mods, then get the assesor to look at it .

"Had to remove the struts and stuff so I could tow it, honest!"

EDIT: btw, you should be able to declare them without cert also... if you declare them then you are sweet.

yes you can get a wof without a cert, but its not legal.
just dont go to a vtnz or onroad to get your WOFs

[dickytim]

"but its not legal"

That is exactly why insurance will not pay out.

There is a contract you enter into with insurance, if you break it your insurance is nul and void, as simple as that.
