You can pass recon on stock suspension, although recon is for suspension so you wouldn't even need recon. All that I'm saying is a stock Subaru wont pass a bounce test. So it's just pointless to me that pass or fail comes down to a test that will inevitably fail whether your stock or not. They just didn't think too much into it.

I was able to pass the bounce test on fortune auto 500 coilovers 7k f/r. Just set them to the softest setting. I have sway bars on the car as well. The inspector with gray hair and gray mustache let me bounce the car by pushing down where the strut is. I guess it just depends on the inspector and amount of strength you have.

as long as it aint slammed to the ground...a 1/2" to 1 inch drop wont catch most safety inspectors eyes unless they know subies.... however coil overs are dead giveaways on an aftermarket suspension....red flag needs recon!
colored springs...another dead giveaway
