1995 A32 Nissan Cefiro. Just put all new monroe gt shocks in all around, the rear are now captive without shortening (which was my original problem.) Now with the shocks, the front springs are compressing the bumpstops and has no travel. I put aftermarked bumpstop kit in, and are already a lot shorter than factory stops. Should it get a warrant, or do I need to raise the front a bit! Cheers.

New Springs would have been a good combo there - lol
I'm guessing it rode around for a long time on short shocks and original springs or did someone cut them and let bodyweight of car slump springs!
And as above - illegal so NO and yes need to raise vehicle again

Yes to the wof if you get it recerted as a commercial road roller / heavy tractor /road legal go kart (fixed axle vehicle)

What's the speed limit for such vehicles! 15kmh !

Depends a lot on the gross weight/ size of tyres etc etc. Large tractors can tow 2 trailers up to 50kph something the size of a car would about 20kph I think (probably the same as a forklift)

No, it has brand new Dobi super low springs, and brand new struts all around, with brand new short bump stop kit. I would never cut springs!

nick--look turn it any way you like--the answer is NO the car wont pass a WOF riding on the stops.

Yeah I know King's didn't sell a set of superlow's for it, only low's. So I found some Dobi's that cross-referenced for super low. Only now I think there are reasons

Bit far away for me! Dunedin would be more appropriate

If you haven't got anything nice to say, then don't say anything. It is just an honest question for someone who does not now the answer.

Isnt adjustable suspension the way to go if you want to scrape everywhere! I had superlow springs in my Subaru with standard shocks, annoying as hell, you should see my front bumper. Always passed wofs though, get your ride height up a bit, will still be plenty low enough altho more $$ though

It had 17"s on stuffed factory suspension, handled awful and sat higher than stock

So, instead of a cheaper factory wheel all round you did the extra logical thing and intentionally use the wrong spring kit!
