Hi John & Jo, I will stand corrected if I'm wrong here.... You can have your suspension/brakes upgraded (at any time) and have the vehicle 'replated accordingly. If you have the vehicle upgrade BEFORE the FIRST registration, you will get national compliance... recognised in all states and territories of Oz. For the life of the vehicle. BUT........ If you have the upgrade down AFTER the first registration, it will only be compliant in the state that the upgrade was done. This is not necessarily a problem, if you plan to keep the vehicle registered in that particular state/territory. If you want to have the vehicle registered in another state, at a later date the vehicle will have to be re engineered and certified to comply in the 'new' state or territory. There has been debate on other forums about a vehicle being certified in one state and then possibly being non/not compliant in another. As I say this is debate......if you are considering getting an upgrade before OR after the initial rego, strongly suggest you check with the relevant state authorities. The joys of motoring....(in Oz)
