I passed me e-test with flying colour legit and now I need a safety. Everything is good mechanically wise (horn, lights, no rusted frame, wheel bearings are good etc etc) Only thing is my car is lowered, but not slammed. Might need a 2x4 piece of wood to get up onto a hoist. I can put a finger inbetween the tire and the fender, so it’s not SLAMMED…yet. Car is done proper and not ghetto. Can anyone direct me to a shop who help me? Not looking for a “no look” safety, just something a little bit leinent compared to Canadian Tire. Location within Mississauga would be great. Thanks! ---

What’s the MTO standard in terms of lowered vehicles? 2" wheel gap? ---

4" clearance from the lowest point of the vehicle is what I’ve heard… ---

i can’t confirm the 4" rule, the guy installing a new lift at our shop told me when I asked about super low profile lifts. ---

I safetied a car with -1 finger gap with no problems at Canadian Tire, as long as it does not rub, and has VTEC.
