sike. them bastards are freaking strict on inspections. unless you know someone your up shits creek buckko. if even a bulb fails, the entire car fails. you cant get your car registered or nothin til you have it inspected. i hated that crap.


glad i always bough a car that had just got inspected.


it just makes me wonder how bad the VA inspection is. are shops that picky against dropped cars?

if you turn the wheel all the way to one side, and the tires dont touch the fenders, your fine.

State law says the front bumper bar must be no lower than 14".

Road going laws and state inspection rules are very different.

actually odu integra that is not how the state inspection book reads. does not say anything about the height having to be 14" its just states that suspension travel cannot change as the kind gentleman above stated.the 14' inches of ride height is the law code not the inspection code,theres a difference.its just like an aftermarket exhaust,as long as there is a cat there and the exhaust does not have any leaks or breaks in it it is legal unless your in the areas of va that have emmisions and then you have to be able to pass that.theer is always differences between law codes and inspection codes
