i will never go for recon again after what happen to me. fck recon when cops crawl under your car to find something that you cant see from outside so they can justify what they took it away!!

Trust me, this is coming from a guy that has gotten more Recon tickets than I would like to remember.
yeah it is but see the thing is....well as you can tell when u guys worked on my car the engine check light was on and the springs were stiff does that allow me to pass?oh and i forgot to mention is they're a place to re align tires cause the two tires that i damaged are wobbling when i'm driving lol...jus was wondering

I passed with coilovers, so I'm pretty sure the springs you have won't be an issue. As for the check engine light, I don't think they even check for that either.

We actually ran the car for an alignment and it passed when the car was here at the shop. The 2 wheels that were damaged from the accident would've been replaced, but they were discontinued. The insurance company credited you back that $$$ off your deductible so you could have the wheels replaced or use that money towards purchasing a different set. I'd either buy something else or throw your stocks back on in the mean time. I'm almost positive that's the issue. Call me up or pm me if you have any questions.

check engine light = safety

for recon all they care about are modifications, good thing they don't care about huge turbos and they would rather bother you about body kits.

^^ Is why I got my tint redone the first week I got back in the islands.

I still think its great whenever I see a slammed Hardbody with limo tint, lower than my car, and its legal. When, because we drive a "Car" and not a "Truck" we have to deal with 35% and they can do whatever they want. I'm just glad that our laws make sense, kind of like the turbo thing, some noob can slap on a 70lb/min turbo and go exploding down the freeway but god forbid we put stiffer springs on our car, thats just crazy talk.
