Regarding the updates from Escort -- they are not free. If you want to keep the speedcams, etc., updated then you need to pay for a subscription. This is a downside, IMO. The thing cost 500 dollars and they get you for a monthly fee? Not cool, but oh well. The second negative is that the woman's voice that comes on to tell you that a traffic cam is approaching scares the crap out of me sometimes.

Other than these two points, the unit is exceptional.
The subscription fee is only 20 bucks a year though... so yeah, it's annoying, but I think it's worth it... esp if you drive a lot. Cameras are popping up like crazy EVERY where.

As for your 2nd negative, you know you can either turn down the voice volume or shut off the voice volume right?

So sounds like you're happy with it then. No need for me to switch it to a V1 or something eh?

What's an R2C intake Ken? So you're not happy with it??? I was thinking about getting a Stillen G3.... not worth it? I am getting old too I guess

Beach -
Nice work on those springs... sounds like you have your own compressor there? Impressive. I'd prolly have a shop do mine. Also, any concerns about changing the handling characteristics of the stock ride/cornering ability? In stock form, the handling and ride is already great. I don't want to mess with that. I'm worried that for merely gaining a "lower look", I sacrifice a worse ride/handling compromise.
