since when did they start that bounce test? i got recon a couple years ago and i never had to do that.
i wouldnt have even bothered with getting recon but this dick cop took my safety away. got pulled over for doing nothing, then he started looking around....got down on his hands and knees and said he had to take my safety away cause my cars a hazard because i didnt have bumper supports. funny part is, i still go recon with NO bumper supports. i went there like 5-6 times so good luck. they knew who i was already..haha. honestly, your car isnt half as bad as mine was. mine still had issues but yeah, i passed

As for passing you......ah, sometimes it helps if you're a girl. Now, As cute as Dominic is, I'm pretty sure you look better than him, so that may have helped out just a tad.

Yup, I got my recon about 6 months ago, and I needed to bounce the crap out of my wagon just to get it to pass. I'm currently riding on Tein SS-P's and had to put all my weight on the front corner of the fender just to get it to move. The guy was like, " You think you can get 2" of play on your suspension?" and I was like," Oh yeah, no problem." I practically dented the fender trying to get it to move......and that was even on the softest setting all around.

OK as I sort of predicted, I would fail recon.... and because of the stupid bounce test, my car didnt move lol, next time I'm leaving the EDFC on, would that help?

I'd say forget it already. I figure if you failed that many times, you'd know what you need to do to fix the next time around. Oh wells, maybe the 22nd time will be the charm.

Oh yeah the heck with recon never done it and never will. I will be damned if I give my money to some government official to live in some nice house on a hill looking at the ocean and not see major improvements done to the roads of Hawaii.
