I sold my car recently but I thought I'd let you in on a little story.
Upon taking deposit for the car, I agreed to supply a RWC with it. I thought, cool, easy done, I have a engineers report and nothing has changed since the last time I had it checked (we only need to get it done once in Canberra, not every year)
I took the car over the pits and they pinned me for coilovers. I gave them the engineers report (which cost me $1000) and that usually gets you over. BUT NOOOO!!!! I have KWs and they don't have a locking ring under the perch. I said, OK, but Ray Spence says it's cool. They send nope, we now need papers from Germany stating how their technology works. They needed me to call or email KW and request their engineers to write something.
WTF.
After a week or so, I was able to have my local engineer call them and sort it out.
So just a heads up. Even if you buy expensive, quality gear, it doesn't mean that it's more legal than the cheap run of the mill stuff.
For the record, if I had D2s or hottunings, the coilovers wouldve passed their tests.
I love the pits!!!
