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

/\ 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.

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.

I'm thinking an aluminum scrape guard would go a long way to protecting yer gear, (should you put a lip on, that is) don't you?
