Want to avoid this ticket.
Rules to live by.
1. If your suspension is altered, stay within the height guide lines and you should be safe.
2. If your wheels are tucked up and under the fenders(go to the ocean front and get pulled over)
3. If your wheels hit anywhere within the fender(even while turning), raise your height or what ever you have to do. When the Officer pulls you and sees this, it's an automatic guilty in court.
4. If you have airbags/etc, don't raise or lower your vehicle on the public streets or any place where a cop may see you. If you do it in a private parking lot and a cop sees you playing with it. Once you hit the streets, you're fair game because he now knows it's been altered.

One thing I do like about the code: However, nothing contained in this section shall prevent the installation of heavy duty equipment, including shock absorbers and overload springs.
This might be used as a loop hole. Performance springs/struts/shocks if explained properly could fit this clause. You have even better odds of beating a ticket or even avoiding getting pulled over, if everything else in the code is followed.........Height requirements

Another quote: No person shall drive on a public highway any motor vehicle registered as a passenger motor vehicle if it has been modified by alteration of its altitude from the ground to the extent that its bumpers, measured to any point on the lower edge of the main horizontal bumper bar, exclusive of any bumper guards, are not within the range of fourteen inches to twenty-two inches above the ground.

Go out and measure from the bottom of the main inner bumper(not the bumper covering) to the gound. On a stock Mitsu GSX, that measures aprox 17-18in.s. Thats 3-4 inches to play with and that's with stock sized wheels(remember #2). It only takes 2in to get rid of the wheel gap(without tucking them) on the eclipse and that's well within the limits of the codes height requirement. If your tires outside diameter is larger than stocks, that will give you a little more height that you can lower(but remember #2 and #3)
****this is just used as one example****Check your own vehicle****

Just be smart and don't do anything else that draws attention to yourself.
Hope this helps

last but not least: Yes your airbags are illegal

I never heard of the VCCC, but I have heard of the CCCCVA (car club council of central va). But anyway, just because a club isn't affiliated with the VCCC or whatever doesn't mean that it's not a club. That's like saying a business isn't really a business unless it's a member of the BBB (fyi, most are not).

If you want to join the CCCCVA it's only a one time fee of $10. You can find the application form here.
