My 97 328is failed on ride height. It has Bilstein PSS9s and is corner balanced so that does not surprise me. What did surprise was the response from the state trooper that the shop I was using here in Sunderland MD had on possible resolution. His statement was that my car would not pass unless I replaced the original suspension (springs actually, but of course that would require putting the struts back in also). I found a similar story from a Miata owner on the web and it seems the real requirements is minimum height for the headlight centerline. Doers anyone know a reputable shop that I can take my car too (after cranking the the coil-overs up to max ride height of course) that would actually check the required value and not fail me for hav=ing an aftermarket suspension. Calvert county vicinity would be nice, but I don't want to convert the car to a trailer queen just yet. The PSS9's are not the only mod (adj sway bars, perf bushings and camber plates, etc.) so if original suspension is the real requirement then I'll just have to "sell" the car to my Mom in Ohio!
Thanks for any help/advice the chapter cna give!
