Stupid Recon
Recon inspector failed me on my stickers on my rear side windows and front suspension for being too stiff with the BC Coilovers even with the softest damping setting. I swear this is what he said to me "see the back, bouncy bouncy, the front, no bouncy." like wtf? Is that how you determine if the suspension is good? I'm sure there are other cars with stock suspension that are stiffer than mine (like my dad's vette).
I was thinking of putting the stock suspension up front since the inspector didn't even bother to look behind the wheel to really see my coilovers installed or I could buy softer springs, but shipping alone wouldn't be enough time since my alignment period for recon is pretty much done at the end of the week so i'm out of luck with this. It's such a hassle to get recon but then again i'm one to follow the rules so I still might go through with this even if that means wasting money getting another alignment done Last edited by fujiwaru; 10-18-2017 at 05:36 AM. |

So any modifications made to the car needs to pass a Reconstructed Vehicle Inspection ?

For an inspection that seems so specific, bouncing a vehicle with one's body weight to determine a pass/fail is horribly unscientific or specific
Just throw the oem fronts back in, pass the inspection and then go back to your CO's

I just might go the route of throwing the stock suspension on just to get the sticker. |

Stupid Recon
So majority of the people here passed recon with your coilovers? Just wondering, for the people that passed the bounce test, what is your spring rate for your coils?
