Any help would be appreciated.
There are a few places. I was wondering how low could you possibly be? A lot f people her have pretty low cars and have no problems with the cops askin for recon or safety checks. A lot of us here are military too. Just gotta find the right guy who knows the right guy.

Oh, who else lives in town? I live in Saltlake, and need someone to bother. My boy Jon just left for basic training last week so now I don't have a car buddy.

I'm going to drive around tomorrow and try to find a shop to pass me. If not I am going to raise them to stock height on Wednesday. I will check out 76 on Farrington. Is it a gas station?

The first time I went to a1 Autotech or something like that and the guy charged me $100.Last time I found a bike shop behind Harley Davidson/Kawasaki on Nimitz and he only charged me twenty so I am going to try and find that guy first and then head to 76 on farrington.

The front is dropped 1.1" and the rear was dropped 1.4".

It is $15, if you do have coilovers though they will fail you. Lowering springs likely to pass, if 76 doesn't work try that shop behind Best Buy near Cutter Ford before Pearl Ridge. It is getting harder to find hookups now days. Good Luck man.

Sounds like a lot of the shops became stricter all of a sudden. I know the cops were cracking down on shops passing illegal cars, but I didnt think it would be that bad. I had a slight drop on my car too, but I passed without any mention of my ride height. I went to a shop in Aiea, I cant remember. Only cause I was in the area. No special reason why I went there.

I forgot to ask

Anyone wanna sell their CT9A trunk?

And anyone have any suggestions on what coilovers and clutch I should grab?
I was just gonna grab another ACT HDSS, but I was also thinking of trying something new. If you guys think I should try something new, please feel free to express your opinion. As for the coilovers, I think Im gonna swap from my springs to a coilover setup. If you guys have a specific one I should try, I would like to hear it.
