safety stickers must be mounted right side of the bumper with or without bracket. DON'T USE THE BRACKET THAT ATTACHES TO YOU PLATES. alignment is within specs. you should be able to bounce your car to see suspension travel. so adjust your shocks as soft as possible.

your alignment sheet is only good for 30 days also. So make sure your appointment is within 30 days of your alignment

^^ yeah I know, I gotta make an appointment to get my tint stripped, probably go get a qoute from the auto trim guys next to your shop, then afterwards you can snap some pics. Kill two birds with one stone right???

Haha, yeah getting Recon sucks. I just went for my appt. last Monday. I strolled in there all happy, thinking it would be a piece of cake. Had my alignement, insurance, registration etc.... Little did I know, the guy who i bought the car from had 25% tint on there. Damn it, I couldn't even tell! Needless to say, I'm getting the car re-tinted and then going back on the 20th. Bummers.

tires will have to match the load weight requirement thing. I think the weights posted in the door jamb and has to match the weight listed on the tire or something like that...

they don't measure license plate height anymore but they measure the front and rear bumpers.
