Hi,

Also, in addition to Bumper height, there are differing Headlamp height regulations in the US by the DOT. This is another reason Euro cars are generally higher here than across the pond...

Jim, does this mean that a car lowered to a euro spec would not pass a US inspection?

I think its mainly headlight regulations, thats why miatas and vettes had the flip up lights, so they could be high enough to pass. I dont think anyone measures though.

Hi,

It may not, but it's a nonsequitor since no one will ever check...
