I just raised my car this weekend and got it to legal height (only the front) 23" center of headlight (22 is requirement but I didn't want to go to 22 to find out my tire slightly deflated and became 21.75 and fail)
I went to American tire company on Monday. Thanks to the groupon 40 dollar alignment!! Except they informed me that my "toe alignment bolt" is seized... And they might not be able to do it at all.. Ugh!

hey Nerd47, go to pac auto, they did my alignment and it actually didnt come close to the recon spec but they tweaked the computer a little bit and allowed me to pass. $100 
and for the bounce test, my inspector couldnt move the car so he told me to push down on it to show "some" movement. I just used my whole body and forced it down a centimeter and he passed me.
good luck to all those getting recon, its pretty painless now. not nearly as strict as before.

Ah hah ! It is done also guys incase your running a safety check plate relocated i has to be on the lower right of the bumper and if your running a license plate angler its best to take it off I called earlier today and the inspector said that the place can't be "flapping around"
