    I'm from Edmonton, go to millwoods imports on 34th ave and like 95thstreet by Mitsubishi, they pass anything. However you will need day time runners for sure or you'll get ticketed left right and center

          Daytime runners ARE mandatory for any vehicle in Canada made or imported after Jan 1st, 1990. Easy to hook up anyways, just hit up can tire and pick up the hamsar unit. Very easy to install. If you're tires are DOT they can fail you for that but if they aren't worried about DOT then you'll just need to have 4/32" as was said before. As for your airbags, that's just stupid. If your car NEVER had airbags, it doesn't need airbags to pass any inspection. Take it to another shop once your tire and DRL situation is fixed.

            I had my car oop'd at edmonton frame and steel and they were very helpful. The manager kris was a real big help. Very nice lady to deal with.

              Car too low - maybe remove your lip. The rest you won't have an issue with
              Stock tires - If they have good tread it shouldn't matter.
              Air bags - Non-OEM equipment not required. They don't ask 1950's cars to install seatbelts, they won't ask you to install airbags.
              Daytimes - Required. #1 thing they will check for

              In my opinion...wipe their inspection sheet where the sun don't shine and give it back. Then go somewhere else.

                DOT tires are not required... it does not say anything about dot tires in the manual... inspectors who fail for this dont know there job... the tires are required to have load ratings on them and have sufficient tread...

                my car is lower thna yours but your lip is bigger and sits slightly lower as a result, thats prolly what they complained about... morons...

                air bags not required since its not OEM

                DTRL are a must cheap and easy to install... my fog lights are set-up as my dtrl...

                you might wanna change your bulbs to DOT bulbs... stick on a reflector for your front end, and add a reflector that lights up for your rear...

                your headlights might also fail so be ready to either do the rockcrete headlights or fit in some accords

                check your windsheild for as1 or as2 markings

                and make sure everything else is mechanically sound...

                my car failed its first inspections for rear inner tie rods( i did both inner and outer) and a torn cv-boot... good luck and happy driving
                How many kids with A.D.D. does it take to screw in a light bulb?
