i didnt kno cops looked for cars that are 'too low'
i thought as long as its safe, as in no rubbing and whatnot, its all good? am i rong

i think its no cut springs and no rubbing, and no scraping of the floor (i.e noise-wise and making sparks wise)

I'm not sure about Canada, but in the US they call it the "scrub line"....if you were to draw an imaginary line from the bottom of your front wheel to the bottom of your back wheel.....no part of the car should be lower than that line

reason being, if a tire were to blow you'll be riding the wheel and not having a part of the car hit the pavement first - which could be dangerous

On my old lowered Astro, I was running 15's and tucking tires. My front lower control arms and gas tank where below the "scrub line". Had I blown the front tire, the lower control arm would have dug into the pavement, could have caught and spun the truck around......if I blew the rear tire, my gas tank would have hit the pavement and would blow up in flames LOL

If I here running say 17's or 18's and blew a tire, the rim would the pavement first.
