according to your sig, the only thing is the drop, alignment numbers have to be in stock specs. and the alignment paper has to be no older than 30 days.

You don't have to raise your car to get your alignment to spec, assuming you have camber and toe adjustments.

Don't forget though, your front license plate has to be at a certain height from the bottom. 11.5 or something. All I did was made some brackets to raise it up, then took it off after it was recon'd.

they measure from the middle of your license plate to the ground has to be at least 22inches from the center of the lic. plate to the ground. idk about the coilovers i don't think they pass. but for bodykit wise they wont pass it unless you got the stock bumper brackets still in place. cause thats considered as cosmetics other than that, your exhaust should be alright to pass.

dude the foam, everything what ever you took out has to be put back, just in case they do a something or they ask you to pop up yah hood and they scope out yah front kit, and yes its a necess to put back your front plate its lol its illegal to drive without yah front plate. but if anything one of the guys posted up the forumshawaii link on recon laws.

suspension test will pass, i have the same setup or had. I loosened up my tokico to very loose. I watched him push the rear of the car down and it barely moved .5 inches.

He will also test your tint, if you have any.

Recon is pretty basic if you have the basics down. Alignment, Front License Plate Height, Tint, and Suspension test.

Make an appointment.
