Will they check the beam and springplates at roadworthy center? if not i will just fix what i need to.

How you build your suspension has nothing to do with the RWC guys, they not there to see if you have adjusters on or not, they will only test ride height, and suspension performance, (ie; on the bone shaker machine that kills king & link pins).

So set it to the top and go down for the test.

Now think about fitting air , then you can set it for driving, as well as shows, much easier, and you will not be attacked by a road rage guy at the next speed bump....

The RWC guy will be able to enter your e-natis and tell you if it is still marked as RW

Good luck

You should have been issued with a Discontinuation Notice and if they only specified that you must raise the vehicle to the manufacturers specification then normally they will only request that you do what is on the notice of discontinuation, unless otherwise specified.
The traffic law can get very complicated and they can make life very difficult for you if you try pushing them a bit to far.
If I where you I would raise the suspension to its specified ride height,put your best clothes on swallow your pride and tell them you are sorry for not complying with the Road Traffic Act but you where not a wear of such a regulation in the Road Traffic Act.
Tell them you have rectified the fault and could they please'''''''''''''''' check the car to see if it complies to their requests, then you might just get the car back on the road providing you do not need a complete re test.
If it is a Notice Of Discontinuation then that normally only allows you to take the vehicle to a place of repair,then you have to go and get a temp permit to allow you to take the vehicle for Roadworthy and does not allow you to carry any passengers and is only valid for one day.
But please do not take my word for it as the rules and regulations differ from province to province and I am talking from my own experience and dealings in the past.
