However because I pulled over immediately when the cop passed me and I saw his brake lights go on in my rearview, he wrote it down to 66 in a 55.

The deal in Michigan is cash on the spot or they impound the vehicle and take you to the judge. Fine was $85 and I had four twenties which the cop took.

My cousins husband in Minneapolis that night said I just paid for the cops fireworks that day. (it was July 2nd)

Smart move on your part.

@ nookandcrannycar, between San Antonio to El Paso, there were crosswinds that I had to slow down under 80 or even 70 at some point since I can feel the shake from the winds, but then I can just speed up again when I didn't feel the shake after that....

I also didn't feel any tire rub during u-turns or near u-turns in parking lots, it was just smooth as normal.... also I don't know if I'm right or wrong about this, but with the 20mm spacers, the wheels come out a little more and that could give a bit room for the air to escape outside, thus, I didn't feel much road noise or air noise in the cabin, (compare to when I didn't have the spacers on), this could just be my imagination, but that what it feels like, the more quite in the cabin during the trip...

And sure the spacers really make the car look nicer, it doesn't look weak like it come from stock... :-)
