raising car for inspection

i gotta go get my car inspected tomorrow or tuesday and my dad says i have to rase it so it will go on the ramp or something. its not even that low to tell you the truth. its a big bother to adjust them. how high actually is the "ramp" or whatever that im gonna have to get the car up on? its getting inspected at an acura dealer. i have a couple inches clearance in the front and a lot in the sides and rear

also i have clear blinkers in front, and rear, will they pass this? i've heard its hard to pass inspection at a dealer, what are some of you guys experiences?

im thinking about putting stock springs back on cuz its been nothing but aggrevating riding around low

i got my car inspected at a local garage. I am lowered on H&R OE springs. He said that the car being lowered would not affect the inspection. All he did was place my TL on a dyno and ran a few tests. He also told me that if I went to the DMV to get my car inspected, I would have had to remove my upper strut bar, the exhaust tips, and change my blinkers. He was a cool guy and let me off. My suggestion, find a local garage where they aren't ****s and will let you slide.

If you are taking it to an Acura dealer wouldn't they put it on a lift and not use ramps? I have not seen a large dealer use ramps when they have lifts. Lifts should not affect your kit at all.

Pay $100 for unlimited alignment. But yeah....so you saw the light finally...waste of $$$ to mod the car...especially at such a young age where money doesn't come often.
