I dont know about the split beams, depends on how much you shorten it.
But from an insurance point of view, if you have no shockers your insurance would be void, Even if someone like Shannons insure your car and have been told it has no shockers, they have a get out clause in there policy as it states that the vehicle must be road worthy and legally allowed to be driven.
In other words if the Motor Reg or whatever it is called in your state allows it you are O.K. but if they were not informed than there goes your insurance.

Adjustable front ends- are they Legal??**


I believe its up to the individual engineer to decide whether he thinks the front end is acceptable or not.....

What about adjustable front ends ??

Are they legal?

If they aren't..... there are a lot of illegal.... [& lowered]

I dont know how true this is but I have been told that adjustable front beams are illegal in most states as they have been modified from original, I think if the welding has been passed and you have an engineers cert it is o.k.

Just checked on National Gudelines for Construction and modification of Srtrret rods in Australia.
5.2.2 states that any fabricaton or modification that involves the strenght or integrity of the axle must have an engineers certificate.

so in other words if you have adjusters in your front beam by law you must have an engineers certificate.
