Default Low headlights - Eibach suspension - HELP ME!

I got a fix it ticket a while ago on my way home because my headlights were below the specified 22 inch limit. I have the Koni Yellow/GC coilover setup and it only raises the headlights to about 20 inches. I'm ASSUMING that it is measured from the bottom of the lights down in which case I am off about 2 inches.

I really want to get this business over with because I've been plagued with this citation business ever since they gave me one for my exhaust dB's. Does anyone know if I am wrong about the measuring of the lights or maybe have an idea on how to get my car up just a little higher?

I've though of switching my rear springs with my front since they are taller but the work seems like too much just to reverse it. I'm more bent on placing something in, on or around my suspension to prop it up a little bit so that it is easily removed after inspection. Maybe some rags in the spring coils to prevent complete compression???

If anyone knows the process on how it is inspected that would be helpful too. Thanks for your time and knowledge.

24400 VC.....Headlights must be between 22 and 54" from the ground to the center of the light.

Try remeasuring and see if you're at 22"

Woot it is exactly 22" to the center of the headlights. That is with my measuring tape anyways. I love you lol. Thanks Tim. I am going to take my car in tomorrow morning.
