Default I got 2 things in the mail

One is bad. Since when did they get stop light camera enforcement on Baseline Road For $190 I got a nice aerial picture of the back of a head, car and a closeup of my license plate. Doh

One good, kinda. UPS delivery notice with a $400 COD bill. Where the hell do these delivery charges come from? No info on the sender, but I'm guessing it involves precision German damping equipment Already got the spring compressors to do the install. Wish me luck with not losing any fingers!

ouch....$190 for a redlight camera. I know they have a few of those in Ottawa now. Do you guys know where the other ones are because I want to avoid them like the plague.

In WInnipeg they woud not only nab you if you went through a red light but if you were speeding 10 KM or more than the posted speed limit they would catch you then. I think they have like 48 red light cameras in Winnipeg now. Crazy!!!!

$400 COD ? That's retarded! I guess you should have paid for them first???

Where are the intersection locations of red light cameras in Ottawa?

The eight intersections being equipped with red light cameras are:

* Albert Street & Kent Street
* Bronson Avenue & Carling Avenue
* Carling Avenue & Richmond Road
* Coventry/Ogilvie Road & St. Laurent Boulevard
* Merivale Road & Meadowlands Drive
* St. Joseph Boulevard & Jeanne d'Arc
* Eagleson Road & Hazeldean Road
* Heron Road & Riverside Drive

Will the intersections with red light cameras be signed to warn motorists?

No. This would defeat the purpose of the program-drivers would quickly learn the camera locations and adjust their behaviour accordingly. Studies suggest there are no safety benefits when the cameras are signed.

^^^^ You know the light at Hazeldean and Eagleson IS signed boneheads.

Yeah not too crazy about the yellow. I must be a German thing, like how they like the song stylings of David Hasselhoff, aka "Knight Rocker"

Maybe I'll break out a can of Rust-O-leum. It would have to look better.

They should be an upgrade, even being the entry level for good coilovers. There was a few positive S2000 reviews, but KW is mostly a VW thing.

In general, I would trust European suspension vs. JDM suspension. From what I've read in general JDM stuff is overly hard and only really works on perfectly smooth roads. The European stuff usually has a better ride and performance trade off. Anywhoo, KW does actually do Touring Car and Rally race suspensions. Nothing like Moton, JRZ or even Koni though.
