Anybody know where I can find a printed document showing the requirements for recon?

I'd like to see an official list of requirements just to make sure there's nothing really stupid in there before I start with any mods. I'm only planning a drop and some new wheels but from what I've heard, it seems like the requirements vary depending on what inspector you get. It would be nice to go there and have something written you can refer to.

They fail you for have color matched reflectors? WTF

Okay here's my plan for the recon. I'm hoping I won't have any problems with this. I'll put the springs on, get alignment and then go for recon with the OEM wheels on. Then after I get recon, put the new wheels on. Since technically the new wheels are legal (only plus one or maybe even plus zero), I shouldn't have a problem if someone checks my recon papers and don't see the wheels on there right?

Now I just have to decide if I'm going to attempt to install these springs myself or take them somewhere to get installed.
