That seems high.

Mine was $600 from Speed Factory before discount codes: http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/agen...s-bar-477.html

I'm lucky as my commute is early in the morning, empty backroads, and relatively curvy
And because of this... I'm at 12,000 miles now with 14-ish months of ownership. Pretty much double yours

wow. I don't have to go far to find the fun roads here in Cali, but yeah thinking about the roads heading from say Norcross to Marrietta via back roads, man that would be fun on off hours with little to no traffic....

Urban sprawl and stoplights make a 25 mile drive take nearly an hour at any time of day if you avoid highways. If it rains between 4 and 6pm on a weekday, forget about it, just stop at your local waffle house and wait it out over some hash browns because traffic is gonna be atrocious. Atlanta commuters as a hive mind are powdered idiots; just add water and everyone forgets how to drive.

I don't know, I never saw any traffic coming back to my hotel from the pool hall at 1 or 2 in the morning???

Hence why I said any time of day, not night

The northern suburbs have some sections of roads with sensored/synchronized stoplights but they are few and far between and you can get around at night with reasonable pace. Closer to the city you have to deal with traffic lights that are on timers and will always stop you at every other block 24 hours a day. Traffic engineering is not this city's forte.

Only been to ATL once and that traffic is beyond ridiculous....

BUT, always remember in South FL there are ZERO fun roads, absolute ZERO.

How are you liking the wheels still? They look big for a 17".

Some of us do though, and we need to share these skills with others and continue the tradition.

I thought I had seen some videos of "closed Mexican highways" devoid of traffic in your area though?

I love the wheels. They give more than enough BBK caliper clearance. For $249/ea you can't beat 'em for a strong, trackable wheel.

Can you tell me something about your first runs on a racetrack with the 996 Turbo Brake Ducts? Do they work?

I got them installed yesterday and I am looking foward to my next trackday in August 23.
