I do not have time to read all of these post as most are just back and forth banter that has been discussed in these forms previously.

From what I get by skimming thru is what would constitute adjustable and what is approved.

This is my two cents worth....

1. After market Hydrolics/air bags THAT are able to be adjusted from the passenger compartment are illegal, regardless of whether or not the components are approved for hiway use. (of note I have not found one manufacturer yet that has the approval of a car manufacturer or transport canada for on hiway use)

2. Adjustable suspensions that will allow a vehicle to bottom out (any component of the under body, suspension etc to touch the ground) are illegal. If a part fails and the car is able to touc ground would be a hazard hence illegal. (this usually requires a person to remove the factory bump stops). Any vehicle that has these removed or missing can be removed from a roadway.

3. Coil overs (adjustable) yes they can be adjusted for hieght but that can not be done from the passenger compartment unless you have realy long arms. So they are not automatically illegal. But see item 2.

4. air bag suspensions systems were designed to assit the fatory suspension for the purposes of towing or carrying loads. They are install along side and in tandem with factory parts not in place of..... Again not automatically illegal see item 1 and 2.

5. Lastly from personal and past experiences with aftermarket suspensions particularly coil overs (street kits are usually pretty good) designed for mostly or soley track use are very dangerous on public roads. They were not desinged to absorb the iregularities in a narmal public raod surface, they are and were intended for purpose built tracks that have far less severe iregularities. If a vehicle does not absorb the bumps the energy has to go some where, in refrence to a bump it goes either into your spine or causes teh car to become air born or loose... this can lead to severe crashes.
