Tbh the only reason anyone needs recon is for height modification lol! Although the recon shit itself lists a whole bunch of things from exhaust, tire size and even tint if I modify my car this time I'm going to get recon tired of sending letter in saying "I had just purchased the car and did not know it was lowered" hahah or even the struggles of swapping suspension just to get safety -.-' I had recon on my 335i and it was actually quite painless to get

 

i may have to bite the bullet and get recon one of these days as well. hope the inspector doesn't damage anything

 

if needed, i still have my Stock suspension from my 01 you can borrow. lemme know!

Im pretty sure i can help if its not to late. I just bought my S2000 about 3 weeks ago gotta say i love it. i had the same problem too with both my S2000 and my RSX. I pretty much joined S2KI just so i can post this lol. hit me up if you interested. Albert 360-969-6969.

 

forgot to say congrats on the purchases guys. come out to the meets.

 

you guys are freaking me out. I have gotten through all my safety inspections so far, but if they are getting more strict I might have problems in November....what are the rules to pass recon with an aftermarket suspension??? I thought it had to travel something ridiculous like 2 inches?

 

Justin I think it depends on the inspector when I went down the first time every (1991 Honda accord with cut springs) he did the bounce test (needless to say it passed bouncing 5 minutes after the inspector touched it) on the BMW the inspector never touched the fender did a walk around checke the alignment paper and gave me recon he did jot down tire size and rim size ( which you have to get recon updated if you change rims) its pretty simple tbh

 

i thought rims is not recon item anymore like the exhaust, also the license plate as long as it secured in front of your car.

 

They do it so that the size is recorded incase after recon you change your rims which alter the height and also I believe as safety the rim can't stick out past the fender

 

ohhh. ok.
