nah, just set the hypermaxes to full soft. should give you enough travel.

but yea, super lenient now, they didnt even catch that i did not have the third brake light at the time and almost passed me with my quick release steering wheel.

Good luck sir!

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.

Dave when you pushed down what did you push down on? The fender or strut tower?

i would make it like stock height to ensure you pass. i think lexan is ok but if you're unsure take the top off

I want to say it might happen but at the same time I don't think very soon because the states needs the Monday ! With look at how much money they will lose with out safety checks
