Haven't updated in a while buuuuuut...I FINALLY got my Recon and annual Safety Check inspections! Woo-hoo!!
Had to go through quite a time to get my Recon Inspection all good let me tell you. In the end I ended up swapping out all of my eibach coils on my ground control sleeves. First, the inspector said my car was too stiff and didn't have enough suspension travel so I moved my rear springs to the front and bought new (softer, taller) springs for the rears. Went back and passed the suspension travel aspect....but then they said that my headlights were too low (center needs to be 22" from the ground or more, mine were 20.5"). Thus, I had to buy new springs for the fronts as well (same spring rate but taller). Went back today and FINALLY passed, so I immediately headed to the Safety Check station with my current Recon papers and got my inspection!
So, to recap:
- original setup - Front 7" springs (325lb/in), Rear 7" springs (250lb/in)
- current setup - Front 10" springs (250lb/in), Rear 8" springs (150lb/in)
All that work and $350 later....aaaaaand i'm just gonna swap my Tein coilovers from the Sentra this weekend.
What a waste. Oh well, at least I am all legal now and (more importantly) have the paperwork to prove it.
Two down, one to go! Will be getting Recon for the SE-R once I swap suspension over and then all three cars will have their recon inspections!
