    Default Legal height in SA?

    Can someone please tell me what the legal (Regency approved) height is for an AE86 in SA?
    I'm looking for the minimum height allowed between the wheel arch and the centre of the wheel front and rear. Last time I was going through Regency they didn't have this measurement specified, is this still the case?
    Is the minimum ground clearance still 120mm?

    They measure from the centre of the wheel diameter to the bottom of the wheel arch usually. Not sure on the exact ae86 measurement, though.

    there is no eyebrow height listing for the ae86, it has to be 100mm off the ground and retain 2/3rds of the original wheel travel (not sure how they can accurately measure that)

    i heard if you let down one of your tyres no part of the car should touch the ground, and another ive heard is that your headlights have to be 500mm off the ground
