Ok I have a 92 DA9 and she is a work in progress. My thing is I'm always getting pulled over! I'm not speeding or swurving I'm just cruising. I've been pulled over cause of my yellow fogs and my hids, ride height, tail lights, and corner lights, plus of course my exhaust. yesterday I was in the process of swapping my steering wheel so I had the front cover off but had to leave in a rush and I got pulled over. The first question was do you know your ride height is illegal and the he garbs for his gun and says holy shit! is this car stolen!? My keys were in the ignition and enerything WTF! I got a few friends that are in to their chevys. My DA9 compared to their truck is like a toy, I sit low and they're running lift kits and big tires wit cherry bomb exhaust or glass packs. They don't get stopped at all, I following my dude in his silverodo wit a 2in. lift and tires can't forget his glass pack exhaust that drowns out my system and I get stopped for altered exhaust and ride height, my friend pulled over right in front of me ang got nothing but me a 150 dollar ticket WTF! yOU KNOW i THINK IT'S BECAUSE I'M....... driving a low car. What do you guys think?

its because your driving a import. i think theres a survey on the internet that shows that cops do pull over more imports then domestics. and if u tune your car it just raises that chance of getting a ticket. also like you said those trucks are pretty loud ( and my van due to a broken exhuast) but they never get harassed for being to loud. also have you heard a harley rev up, those bad boys are extremely loud. way pass the limit with that sound meter.

Hell yeah those Harleys are loud, kinda like a jack hammer! But even modded cavaliers/ berettas skate on by, srt4s and non srt4 neons. Srt4s are loud and those berettas have a annoying sound to them, oh well I guess its a good thing they're hatin on me... it means I doing something right.

Yeah you're right there are some good cops out there, but there are also cops who are either bored or just need to meet their quota. Oh well it is what it is.

+1 on that! my father is a retired cop and unless your just a jack ass riding around doing stupid stuff he didnt mess with people. but then again there are cops here that do the same thing as OP said just ignore the 24ft chevy truck running open header and goes for the import....the best thing to do is eithersuck it up and live with the fact that some cops are biased and will single imports out or .....you could buy a 24ft tall chevy and run shit over.....lol. :grin:

Like I said there are some good cops but I just think tax payers dollars could be better spent chasing down big drug dealers, level 3 sex offenders, and serial killers instead of breaking the sound barrier to chase down an import, who's jus crusing. Now if you have some dumb ass revvin the piss out of his car jus to hear the exhaust or redlining every gear on busy public roads then by all means GET EM! The retard is making shit hot for those who really enjoy riding around in their ride. That's all I have to say and thanks for all your input guys.

Yea maybe. I heard in Florida there is no such thing as ride height, I seen some of the Dunks on T.V. and I was told Monster trucks roam free and cars scrap the ground. It is what it is I guess.

I know now what you mean. I just like cruising I got two kids and I'm still kinda young so pointless tickets and crashing is not an option for me. My papers are all legit and my car will be lower and I wouldnt change a thing, thats how I roll.

If your cars looks anything but stock you will get pulled over. I got pulled over for tint and exhaust a while ago and the car pretty much looks stock. They are out there to get money and your car seems like an easy target. Its the combination of all those things that see, especially the yellow fogs. If you can fit a soda can standing up underneath the car then the ride height is legal (at least here in California).

Your DA is spanked. Does it sit lower in the back? Good shit anyways.
