rules state no laggy mods if you have them they must be removed if u spot someone with a laggy mod on the server report them and also don't just change a laggy mod for another laggy mod or you will run the chance of being banned till ur mods are removed and originals are installed.

@Matheeh: they can, one by one, thats their work

Anyways, coming to topic
You cannot know whether your mods are laggy or not because only other players can see that, maybe you have seen some players' trailers jumping/bouncing a little , but little bit is allowed, you must have been kicked because you must be lagging more worse then them , unfit for the server.. so mods are judged by admins.

Last time I remembered our work has to help the community, keep rule breakers under control and generally moderating the server as we go along. That's what /report is for, to let us know of rule breakers. We can't go checking everyone one-by-one or the original point of coming here (which is fun) is gone.

Anyway, if you have mods installed you cannot tell by yourself if you lag or not. Mod lag is caused by differences in sizes, positions and offsets and so on (physical models so in the DFF file). Let's say a RT was 6mx3mx3m (w x h x d) and yours was 6m x 4m x 3m. (viewed from the side)

The difference in height will cause you to lag vertically to normal (unmodded) users, hence the floating or bouncing.
If the depth was bigger than normal, when a person overtakes you, you would spin out / be rammed.
If it was smaller, you could end up ramming a player when overtaking them, and cops will find it difficult to stop you by force.
If the width is longer, you may appear to be far away from other players but on your screen you're right behind him.
Width is shorter, and on your screen you're close to the person = you would ram them.

This is why mods that alter the physical model too much is not aloud here, since it's prone to causing accidents.

In case anyone says anything about 'internet lag' in relation to this, internet lag only delays the player. The positions will be the exact same, just 0.5 seconds behind.
