well after hearing heaps of mates say they are legal and heaps say there not i decided to start pumping a few emails out and got this response:
Currently all Road Transport agencies in the States and Territories use a National Code of Practice (NCOP) for light vehicle construction and modification which can be found as Vehicle Standards Bulletin (VSB) No 14 which can be viewed and accessed at
http://www.dotars.gov.au/roads/safet...tin/index.aspx
The use of coil over shocks is contained under Section LS, we are using the use of Coil Overs as a suspension strut or upright substitution, and therefore a modification to a vehicle.
In December 2006 the ACT conducted some market research with the regard to the use of Coil Over shocks with some suppliers and the engineering signatories and have come up with the following.
Until we can get clearer answer from all the states of the use of Coil Over, We are treating the use of Coil over suspension as a modification as such are requesting that an engineering report be submitted with the inspection of the modified vehicle.
Happy to discuss further should you require any further information or details.
