New Rules

This is pretty crazy, looks like it could be a problem for a lot of cars. Maybe reason to pickup the car you've been waiting on

That's why it pays to know licensed mechanics

I do, and they have been the ones to certify my vehicles in the past, but am I to ask them to turn a blind eye? Or are you just saying that since so much is left up to their discretion, you can feel more comfortable trusting their discretion?

That's kind of the direction I was heading with it, the suspension and wheel sections would mean a hard time for a lot of s2000 owners haha

You'd hope it's to keep the hellaflush kiddies safe and off the road.

If it's too strict it would limit legal cars with OEM lower suspension to be sold in the Province (sport cars, etc).

This could be a good thing for most people as long as they don't go overboard on some key items.

Now if they only implement this in Quebec, you'll see alot of fuss

hopefully they put their most attention towards the idiots with stretched tires, they need to be off the road, and the people installing the tires need to be ticketed.

As long as your ball joints and tie rods aren't going to pop out, I'm usually easy.
