| Ok i need a saftey for my car its got an inch drop and falken azenis r compounds ahhaha.
My biggest problem is can people come together and kinda tell me a list of the things there most picky about all my lights work it runs fine just got new brakes and control arms theres no rust or anyhting.
Also would having my strut bars in affect the safety or would they care
Also any good places you guys know of that are pretty lax when it comes to safetys would be a great help thanks | |

| Particularly what type of saftey? ( out of prov./federal ) They are going to check brakes/lights/daytime running lights all that sort of stuff (safety devices) They may raz you on the car not being stock specs when it comes to hieght.
For just a run of the mill saftey you can get that done at any dealership, they have mechanics that are certified to do safetys.
You could give a place a call and talk to service and request a list of requirments for the car to pass. | |

| I dont think my car has daytime running lights :s cause mylights only come on when i turn the switch for them, what i could really use is an electrically inclined guy to come check it all out cause somethings gotta be amiss | |

Well thats a cheap fix Your best bet is to stop by a shop and ask for the sheet they go through for the safety. I got one in a binder around here that my old cherokee had to go through cause it came from B.C. Later on tonight if i have some free time ill type up the massive list for ya | |

I'm going to assume that as long as they meet the safety requiments(mounts and such) theyd be fine, but give them a call or pop by and just ask a place that does out of prov. safeties. ( questions dont cost ) | |

| Will do also would anyone know the gauges in it are shitty RACTIVE and are wired terribly they maybe turn on 80% of the time if that. I wanted to replace em with some nice ones but am kinda broke right now
could i replace em with american gauges ie) Miles/hour and such as the dominent one just for the safety cause you can get em off ebay for 20 bucks or would they be concerned cause its a canadian car? | |
