Absolutley ridiculous. Its messed up that cops come out in droves during the holidays to ruin peoples lives. I have been seeing 10x more cops than usual on my daily routes since turkey day. 4mph over, that pisses me off. I can imagine how you feel.

/\ that's nuts, 4 mph over, you should see about getting a lawyer to fight it if it's not too much $$

My question is why, if your going to speed, would you want to go 1-5mph over when the fee only increases 10 bucks from there for going 10 over? Not directed at you sfearl1, just wondering out loud.

/\ just more proof that if you are gonna do something, you always commit 100% and go all out.

Lol, never half-*** it.

I'm definitely going to weigh my options here. It may be cheaper to pay it than get a lawyer involved.

Wow, in my book anything within 10 over is fine and legal. That cop must have had a ticket quota he was close to missing.

Finally calibrated the boundary lines on my backup camera screen

Darn, I have to drive the Z tomorrow.

Fixed the suspension noise that showed up after I installed the Swift Springs and wheel spacers. Now I can ....

It is pretty crazy how small of dips and inclines the front chin spoiler will scrape on with lowering springs. I plan to drive it around until I get use to it before I install the Stillen front lip. I don't want to rip it off the first day.

My chin spoiler hates me and my Swift springs. If I ever had a CF lip on my Z I would blow it to pieces the first day.

So who won the gold star award for the correct suggestion on the fix? The chin spoiler scraping is a frightening sound at first. After awhile the sound is just a feeler gauge letting us know we have an another 2 inches before any real damage. Stillen chin spoiler, I am guessing, it depends how far outward it protrudes from the front for any scraping effect. Let us know how that turns outs.

I found the info from a google search. The info was in a G forum. So no Gold Stars (Rep) to give out.

Sooooooo.....what was the suspension noise? Are you going to just leave us in utter suspense?
