I agree with with mq mad on the issue of insurance and people just claiming bankruptcy to get out of not paying! That just plain sucks. On the other hand I think a lot of these "illegal" mods have not been thought through, with some of them actually making the car safer than factory! The departement of transport needs to wake up and have a real good look at was is and isn't safe, there is also a big difference between someone who has spent the dollers on a proffessinal lift for example and some backyard job. A bit of common sense and realistic legislation is in order.
