Yeah as said before speed is read off the ABS tone rings.

Also it would be a good opportunity - I already have Whiteline RSFB inserts so I didn't need to do anything. I don't drive this car hard enough to justify anything more.

Sidenote: I have both a muffler delete and the shorter diff, so when I'm on the highway the exhaust is a little bit louder at any given speed - keeping speed with rural I-4 traffic ( ) can introduce a small bit of drone.
