Safe to say that you should pm OP info as to not get shop into trouble.
I think there is another thread in this and some members will be able to hook you up.

go legit for safety and just put all your mods back on when you are done. 1) you will get in trouble anyway if you get caught riding dirty 2) why take a shop down with you?

under the radar safeties do still exist... they are just uber expensive.
if you're going to keep it "legal" and drive it, you may want to do recon and do it the legit way. i don't follow my own advice, and drive my modded car without recon... but i swap everything to stock for safety. pain in the ***!

Isn't a dropped or lammed suspension the only give away? All,too much negative camber too?
I got myfxt on orodrives and WRX struts which I though wouldn't pass. But the Fxt is a little under the radar anyways, but I was worried.
The kyb agx won't help me next year since the strut bodies are flaming orange.

Plastidip black my friend. It might work. They actually spent 30 minutes before failing me on the '11 sti last week after breaking out the measuring tape and trying to stick their heads under the car. I was a bit pissed but guess i'll try yet another shop.
safety is the reason I stay stock height. to much of a pita knowing I will be headed back to the mainland in a little over year. not worth overall moneys I would spend, time I would put in to do swap. etc. sways, enlinks, bushings, and a little wider wheels over stock keep me satisfied. good luck with what you got going on, if you insist on looking for the "hook up" you best bet is to seize all posts on this forum in regards to safety, go be a reg at the meets/meats, meet people, and then ask face to face. Be sure to start planning on ways to go legit or do what most do (swap to sock for safety). this place is worse than cali when it comes to mod laws, good luck brother.
is it true that once you fail at one place, reasons why are annotated so if you go to another shop they know you are shop hopping for a specific reason? there for, making it harder for your to hide?
