i was at tein .com and i was wanting to get some tein HE coilovers and i was reading the instalation manual and it sayed that they are for off road use only! now can i get a ticket for having them on the streets? and are they very noticable when they are installed. if i get caught with them installed will they give me a fix it ticket? or should i not worry about it. i never been pulled over so i dont know if they cheak if your suspension setup is legal.:help

youll only get a ticket for being too low. the law varies from state to state, but here in VA a stock 240 is barely legal, my car is 3" too low, and ive never been pulled for it.

you have to have 9" of ground clearance in VA! lol

but the general law is if your headlights are under 18" off the ground, you're too low

VA is 14"-24" at the bottom of the actual bumper (not the bumper cover.) my bumper is at 11" right now.
