I heard this a long time ago and just came to my mind.
Don't know even if its true.
Can you get pulled over if you lowered your car too much?
Like..what's the law or watever from the cars body to the ground.
I don't know if there is a law or so, but if there is, just curious.

 

You can be cited if your car body is lower than the lowest part of your rim.

 

wow. then that should be really low. got ya thx RoJa

 

i think theres also a law which stats that the middle of your headlights must be at least 18 inches from the ground...something like that.

 

If you're in the People's Republic of Kalifornia, then they are MUCH more strict than in the rest of the nation.

I would consult with other poor suckers from that state, in order to solicit opinions about who gets dinged for what.

 

haha thx for the comment

 

i highly doubt you will get pulled over for being really low, unless youre scraping and causing sparks and stuff. im lowered on TRD and only been pulled over for no front plate. my friend is in S-techs and has never been pulled over.

 

ah~ great to hear from someone in CA. got ya man. thx for the info. plannin to get the P1 lip kit and springs so was kinda worrying what kind of springs to get as well.

 

its illegal to lower too much, however, they wont stop you unless youre being a fool out there. they are more likely to get you for other stuff than lowering.

 

I've never heard of someone being ticketed for being too low.

 

its actually 22 inches from the middle of the headlight to the ground.
my buddy got ticketed in his integra for being below specs.
my tc is 24 inches with stechs so you should be good.
good thing the tc headlights are positioned so high.

 

most of the cars that get in trouble for being lowered are hondasas they have that reputation, plus the cars are much flatter which gives the illusion of being lower. the tc is a tall car, so you shouldnt worry about being pulled over for lowering the car.

 

I'm sure that's right for the headlights...a while back I thought I also heard something similar regarding the rear license plate had to be X number of inches from the ground too.

 

lol what about like a lotus elise or a lambo or something...ZOMG call the police illegal from the factory

 

You know....that's actually a good question. Maybe they are in a different class...or maybe if you actually measure those...they are just barely within legal specs...
IDK...that's just a guess.

 

ooooo just thought of an even better example....Ariel Atom

 

^^ that's a good example...lol


But I highly doubt getting dinged for a plate violation on this ride is what you'd get pulled over for.....

yeah...Im talking about the 0-60 in less than 3 seconds.

Ariel atom is definitely something i am getting one day.. without a doubt in my mind.


anyways you shouldnt worry about being to low, like everyone else said the tc is a tall car

 

yeah...even though they get profiled and pulled over a lot... I agree with an earlier post stating about Honda/Acura(integra)s.... the natural "slant" of the styling makes a lowered one look even lower than it actually is.

 

The Ariel Atom is one bad@ss car... They tested it on Top Gear a few weeks back...and it smoked literally every car they raced against it..including Porsche GT-3s, Lambos, Corvette ZR-1...etc... well you get the picture..lol... it was insane how fast that damn thing is!
