Hey Hawaii guys. I have a question. From what I gather you have to have your vehicles inspected like beyond smog on a yearly or by yearly basis? If that is the case I thought Cali ws bad, we cant have our windows tinted but we can lower/bag/do whatever to the suspension. That sucks.
Then there is this thing that is called recon. If you mess with your suspension, have wheels larger than 1" over your stock wheels, and some other stuff, you need to get a reconstruction permit. If you pass the "bounce test" and visual inspection then you can get your permit and a sticker that gets placed next to the safety check stickers (usually on your rear bumper).
That was just the quick and dirty. The other guys could probably get a lot more in depth.

I'm not necessarily going back to stock for the safety check. Although it would be nice if they stopped that stupid bounce test. I just feel that the suspension is a little too stiff for a newborn to be riding in the car. It's just a matter of when I decide to go back to stock.
