Some DOT and European standards are, you would have to research which ones in particular. Unless you are a mechanical engineer with major experience in the design and construction of cars and particular experience in the particular mods you are planning on that make and model of car, then you or I would not be qualified to answer your question in the 3rd paragraph. The stock system is designed, tested and approved by such folks and accepted in international markets...a local modification with a combination of off the shelf products that were never desgined by different manufacturers to work with each other, has not been checked or approved. Every vehicle I stopped with modded suspension, I stopped because it appeared to have a suspension setup that was different from stock setups...and was usually visible because of the rigid ride qualities or lack of, or excessive, ground clearance.
I am equally concerned about grinder guys suspensions and + $10,000 systems. I have stopped vehicles with systems that cost over $12,000 and the vehicle was immediately removed from the highway. Big bucks doees not guarantee a legal or safe product. Just that you gave someone lots of your hard-earned cash.
