don't flame the poor guy as most of you will.....


you will pass with springs of course
depending on the height.....but i don't see why it wouldn't pass



i have almost a 2.5' drop and i didn't pass so i bribed the guy with some money
maybe he BSed me or vice versa....so i prolly got tricked who knows....

Lowering of your car has nothing to do with emissions. Your buddy was wrong.

i think he got a little mixed up. Legally i think your headlights must be 22" high. If you are below that and the INSPECTIONS are harsh then no you won't pass.

I think he means inspections if your gonna sell your car. Not emissions testing ... at least thats what we got here in Ontario

I dont see why he would ask that about emmissions. Im pretty sure hes talking about if he gets inspected by a cop or yeah, if he goes to sell his car.

Normally, depending on where you sell your car, a dealer could give a shiz less if your car is dropped, depending on what other mods you have. Some dealers eat that stuff up, other dealers, like Carmax, hate aftermarket mods on cars. My buddy was looking at a 00' EX that had a 50 shot Edelbrock tank in the trunk. Dealer didnt seem to mind having that on their lot, so Im sure some wont mind having a dropped car on it.

Here in MA they do an all-round safety inspection on top of emmissions every other year.

The guy I went to was an ***. He said he couldn't pass me cuz I had stickers on my windshield, projectors weren't bright enough, and my car was too low to put on the jack. I think you should be ok to put on a jack as long as u dont have a kit. Its my xenon sideskirt that makes it extremely low.
