so does cali have laws that effect stance?

[bigmike]

Not from cali but i know they are the kings of the car laws (engine swaps, exhaust, dropped cars etc etc) so does anyone know if they ticket you for stretched wheels or any kind of stance that seems to be "in-correct" from what people say.....

[Cronus]

I know your head lights have to be at least 22 inches off the ground.

I'm sure they have some other retarded laws that prohibit stancing. I mean it is modifying a car...

[Rhynolite]

Not stretched tires, but too low/too much poke if they're feeling like assholes.

[AreTee]

Yeah, too low for sure. No cop gave me shit yet. =]

[nameless]

ive had friends get busted for being too low. they wont bust out a measuring tape but it will be along the lines "it appears to me that its too low" and if you try to argue they will tack things on.

[CSBolger]

Depends on the area.

Cops where I'm at are more worried about whether or not you have a license and your car is registered.

I know your head lights have to be at least 22 inches off the ground.

Here in Brazil, the measurement is almost the same, althought in centimeters.
I've been pulled over many, many times, and cops kept saying my car had less then 54cm headlight-ground clearance.

I used to ride HIDs and spacers, but they gave me a hard time with them cops, so I went back OEM.

And there is another stupid law stating that your wheel + tire must not be off of the fenders, what clearly affects poke. About stretch, I think there is no law for that yet. Is there in the US?

[FreshLikeSushi]

ive gotten pulled over a few times here in japan for too low and too much poke and camber

[Average_Jerk]

the 22" headlight rule is in effect here in CT too. never heard of anyone getting nabbed for it though

[wheelfetish]

22" headlight rule is same here in pa.

[Zack01GC]

22" headlight rule is same here in pa.

Good to know, I wasn't sure.

[63ard]

i don't know about you guys, but i know that where i'm from, the cops pull you over for everything: tinted windows, bigger wheels, loud exhaust, low suspension, everything that isn't stock.
sure you could register your mods but it cost a lot of money

[fckyourcrew]

Aren't lamborghini headlights below 22 inches?

[Zack01GC]

Aren't lamborghini headlights below 22 inches?

That's a good question. I'll measure next time my buddy has his Gallardo out.

From a random Google search:

Lowered frame (or any other part) that is lower than the lowest point of the wheel rim (24008 VC). Meaning nothing can hang lower than the lower lip of your rim...exhaust, lip kits, body kits, tow hooks etc etc.


(24400 VC). (a) A motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle, shall be:

(1) Equipped with at least two headlamps, with at least one on each side of the front of the vehicle, and, except as to vehicles registered prior to January 1, 1930, they shall be located directly above or in advance of the front axle of the vehicle. The headlamps and every light source in any headlamp unit shall be located at a height of not more than 54 inches nor less than 22 inches.
