rwc is fine, as long as u dont shop the springs, and same with insurance, just claim you got it that way, + if it passes rwc there is nothing insurance can do to say the car is un road worthy

i got that info from the book that qld dep of transport puts out.
it also says the suspension travel in the bump or rebound mode must not be altered by more then 1 thirdof that specified by the manufacturer.
