ok so i was wondering what fairly easy mods there are for a coily :?

also is it very hard to fit a bodylift or coil spacers?

and would a solid t'case mount be better or not?

For body lift have a look here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=15518
They come with instructions. As far as coil spacers are concerned they are really easy to fit. At least they were on my vit.
PM Bruce. He I think he sells spacers, not sure about coily's though.
As for legalities in QLD? No idea.. Maybe one of the QLDer's could answer that.
Cheers

Really depends what you define as easy? Cheap? Quick? Simple?

What might be easy for one person might be hard for another.

body lift is fairly simple but it must be approved in Queensland so it has to go over the pits to ensure it is done correctly.

Under $250, approval you will need to book into DOT. Bolt on standard tyres, sway bar and a general tidy up of EVERYTHING that isn't in a roadworthy condition 8)

its also a good idea to degrease and give everything a good clean before you take it so no oil leaks or any other faults can be found

DOT appointment is around $70 per attempt but if you fail generally they don't charge you for a second

No mod plate, you get a certificate to say it has passed and that has to stay in the vehicle at all times. No mod plates do not effect driving as p plater unless they are performance rated (forced induction, engine swap, etc).
