Modifying car shock absorbers is illegal. Here are the relevant details: Illegal vehicle modifications refer to altering the appearance, power system, transmission system, or braking system beyond the load capacity and functions permitted by national laws and manufacturer agreements, including replacing key components. Modifying car shock absorbers involves altering key components, hence it is illegal. According to Article 16 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" issued by the Ministry of Public Security: the following modifications are allowed for small and micro passenger vehicles—installation of front and rear anti-collision devices; for freight vehicles—installation of windshields, water tanks, toolboxes, spare tire racks, etc.; and interior decorations for motor vehicles. Any other changes, such as altering the brand, model, engine type, or registered appearance and technical data of the motor vehicle, are considered illegal modifications.
