Alright people, I need help and I need it quick.. well fairly quick.

As all of you would have seen from the pictures of my IS. I have changed the springs lowered an inch and half. I went to get it passed today and they freaking failed it. Asked me to put the original springs back on. On the bright side I do have the original springs with me.

My plan is to get the lowered springs off, put the original springs on, get the car passed, renew registration and the out the lowered springs back on. Now I need your help to get a place where they do decent work, and don't charge me a bomb.

Any ideas, suggestions?

Also, I was wondering If I could go to a Tasjeel testing centre. I had done the testing at Shamil. Is the testing linked?

The testing is not linked and Tasjeel will do a complete new test. You can try your luck and if not passed you loose only 50 dirhams :smile:

The car is not too low..

but the gap between the fender and the tires are not too much.
