ESC Suspension lift Victoria legal?

Postby Steve H on Sun Mar 21, 2021 12:22 pm

I know a 75mm lift is allowed under VSB14 LS. However my old downloaded copy said a vehicle with ESC is restricted to 50mm. I downloaded a new copy today and it has changed. It now says this.

For modification codes contained in Section LS of
VSB 14, evidence should be obtained either from the vehicle
manufacturer or through testing to determine the impact on
the ESC system. To remain within the scope of this Section
of VSB 14, a vehicle fitted with ESC must not be modified if
the operation of the ESC is affected unless the ESC system is
adjusted to restore its original operational characteristics.
Similarly, vehicles equipped with ESC must not have the ESC
control unit disconnected.


So is any lift legal in Victoria on an ESC 4WD?

This is from the VSB14 at https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/vehic ... _ncop.aspx


To remain within the scope of VSB14, a vehicle fitted with ESC and modified with a suspension
lift up to 50mm beyond the original manufacturer’s standard height can be carried out under the
basic modification without certification guidelines as listed in Section 4.
Vehicle modifications with a suspension lift above 50mm or due to a combination of any other
lift (tyres, or body blocks) are required to meet this guideline and Code LS7 or Code LS8 where
applicable.

So Australian Dept of Infrastructure, Transport says one thing, Vicroads says another.
