Has anyone tried using either of these products:

There are soo many stop lights with cameras installed in my area and would hate to get a ticket for running a red light. I just bought both of these and my buddy told me neither work, they have ways of adjusting saturation on the photos and police officers will make you take off the lens (his friend had it on for a week).

First of all, you shouldn't run redlight.

Second, don't bother with any of them as these are suppose to work with flashlight at night. During the day, when you run redlight, you are SOL.

Mythbusters tested all of these kinds of products and none of them worked.

Why are you running red lights anyway?

Stop lights in Chicago have short yellows and sometimes I am speeding from blocks away. Plus, I like to give the brakes a break and not heat them up too much.

Imagine that....and your screen name fits.

Though unsurprising for the guy who boasts to driving at 150mph through traffic.

LOL! The brakes lack human emotion, you can heat them up all you want, they won't cry.

Oxygen: My brakes were crying pretty bad last weekend... the annoying brake pad light came on while racing. I am probably going to go with the S55 brakes cuz I don't want to deal with low profile tires on the 19's. Dealer was suggesting only fronts and not to bother with the rears. What do you think? My rims are the big blocky ones that cover the entire wheel, so appearance is not an issue.

I'm getting my car dyno'd this Saturday before I do the Kleemann ECU/TCU upgrade.

Oxygen

That works..

Lower profile tires (within reason) serve a purpose. If you say your doing 150mph threw traffic, you would have more control and more stearing feel with a 35 series tire than say a 45 series. Unless you plan on riding around on higher pressure to make that sidewall more ridgid.

I do believe that 19" wheels are the best wheel for the W220 for sport riding. I just have had too many headaches with low profile tires and bubbles, low air pressure, flats, etc. The potholes in Chicago seem to be getting worse... I just dented my 18" rim hitting a pot hole (I was planning on just replacing it).
