In B.C. dragging can get you dangerous driving and if found guilty there is possible jail time. Federal offense.

ill repeat this again. CALIFORNIA LAW LOOSELY states anything not stock is illegal. so LEDS ARE ILLEGAL. cause the LEDS ARE NOT DOT APPROVED. Also cause you dont have side markers with a side lamp its even more illegal all vehicles has side marker/side lamps even stock tails on your mazda had the side bulb . thats why cops will give tickets for people with caddy lights cause rarly does anybody use the side marker/side lamp. also your leds are small as hell i know fbi mini had them however the lighting judgement is up to the cop once again he said he said. also the fbi mini ones are not even close to being as bright as the AVS ones.   as for suspension re read my post

In NC it's not against the law for adjustable suspension however if your riding to low they can give you a ticket for a vehicle raised or lower more then 6" but it's pretty easy to get thrown out if you provide "prove" of "fixing" the suspension. I simply took a picture of it at full lift and was able to get out of my ticket. But that's in NC. Sorry that can't help you in CALI man! Good luck though dude!

i got pulled over by a cop for dragging, and his exact words were " sir, your truck was dragging the ground and throwing sparks, would you mind raising the truck back up? Have a nice night and be careful"  The only thing i've ever been hasseled for was my tail lights being too low to the ground by a lady state trooper that listens to malcom x in her patrol car.....

this is something ive never understood. there are thousands of vehicles that come from the factory with air ride and even hydro setups. and hell, for that matter, some of them are even adjustable. so with most of these laws, my grandmother could get a ticket for her blown out air ride on her 87 caddy. thats not worth a fat babys ass!!!!!!

The vehicels that come wequipped from the factory arent riding within an inch from the ground or with heavy body modifications tht draw attention to them like our vehicles.  Their functions are for performance or leveling purposes under a load and pass DOT standrads in order to be street legal.  If grandmas Caddy or Lincoln has a rear air suspension blowout then it is grandmas responsibility to get her vehicle fixed since it is making her vehicle unsafe to be operated on the streets so she is fair game for a ticket just like we are at that point.....sorry Grandma!

I can ride all over my town as low as I want to be and the cops never say anything about it. There are a couple of bodydropped trucks here and they ride abd 1/2"-1" off the ground and the cops just look the other direction. A while back one of my friends painted his mazda and was riding down the road and a little bit of sparks came out when he passed one of the cops and when he got pulled over all they told him was that he needed to clean his rear plate because he had gotten some overspray on it.I love my town becuase you can be low as phuk of big as phuk and the cops will leave you alone. They don't say nothing about you adjusting your suspension unless you are moving, then they will give you a warning but if you're at a redlight and playing, they don't care.

man it's a good thing I live where I do. otherwise I'd already bein in jail for punching a cop in the face for telling me my vehicle was "unsafe and unfit for the road". such a bunch of bs. just anyway they can generate revenue. here the cops don't really care. drug past a cop one night and he just pulled me over to check out my setup. he thought it was cool let me go saying I need to "check the tint on my windows". ask them why it's illegal for your truck to have air ride when escalades and such have come stock with it for years

wow im surprised.  Your set up looks really clean and safe.   I would just tell the court that you updated your suspension that is over 20 years old for a new and safe  set up simular to the ones used on luxury cars such as caddys and lincolns.
