AIR RIDE SUSPENTION?

[noff57]

Is Air Ride Suspention illegal? 

[Darkman]

In some places yes.

In South Australia they are.

You will need to check with your local motor registrattion department.

Wow, didn't know that. I'm running it on my 68 right now.

[terrible one]

I've never heard of that before either. What is the reasoning behind that?!

[Darkman]

Not sure why here in South Australia, something about it not being "safe". We have stupid laws. I have to do a lot of "standard" stuff to my 68 to get it street legal and registered. Once it is registered then the beast will be transformed! 

The good thing about SA, is that once it passes its first inspection and is registered, we just renew it yearly with no further inspections required!

There are any number of countries who take the position that the OEM manufacturers know best and any deviation from their formula is a recipe for disaster, hence modifications are frowned upon if not down right illegal.

I thought I was illegal in some States. I have it installed on one of my cars and I had some buddies tell me that air ride was illegal so i stopped driving that car. But i want to start driving it again but I need to get a new inspection sticker for it if I drive it.

If it is in the US, odds are it is okay. Anything to this level would have likely been flagged by Sema Action Network and addressed through legislative sessions, but you might verify with your state DMV.
