Zydan RC-F Build Thread - White w/Circuit Red

Yes, they should ALWAYS give you the results back. My question is why is the alignment so out of whack for just adding lowering springs?! That shouldn't have happened in my experiences with just a spring swap. I would get an alignment, not saying that at all..... Just being out like that is kinda weird. The car and the wheels look fantastic. Nicest Vossens I've ever seen. I'm with Diesel350, it "appears" to me, and I'm not an alignment tech that it's still not aligned according to the specs. Maybe someone that knows more will chime in. Sweet wheels and build regardless!!

Just placed my order through Speed Freaks group buy for the Carbotech brake pads. Expect reviews once received and installed, I prob could have dealt with the OEM brake pad dusting (although excessive), but squeezing while braking at low speeds constantly is just embarrassing.

So it's about that time!
What do you guys think, classic Oval, or the round? I'm preferring the round, looks more agressive.
And lets not forget the very first sound clip, those pops at the end, sounds like a beast!
I got the clip from GTHAUS instagram, and uploaded it to youtube so I can share it, so not my car or my video, but hopefully I'll have videos of my own to share soon.

WOW! The build is really clean! I love the rear wheel fitment too.
My vote is round on the exhaust. I also think it looks more aggressive and sporty. Oval tends to look a bit more luxurious and classy. Either way it would look great.

I placed my order for GTHAUS exhaust paired with the optional mid LSR Pipe (with velocity chamber), from what I understand first batch only had one left as of yesterday with a delivery date end of August.
It's definitely one of the pricier exhausts, but absolutely worth it, pricing is up on the website. I decided to go round tips and comes with remote for valve control, also looks like valves will be able to be controlled via Bluetooth interface. So exited!
Also Carbotech brakepads from Speedfreaks scheduled to be delivered today, should have them in tomorrow, so expect reviews and pictures soon..
In the meantime I leave you with this video, includes dyno numbers at the end showing improvements of 46 wheel horsepower and 19 wheel torque (ft/lbs), GTHAUS is a beast, had it on my G37 and so happy to have it again!

SpeedFreaks Group Buy - Carbotech 100 mile review
So I got these pads in on Friday and did the install Saturday, had a friend help me and was very straight forward normal brake pad replacement, everything fit perfectly, and only slight issue was the back brakes and placement of rear sensor was on bottom instead of top, but easily stretched to fit.
I started with perfectly clean wheels and have drove aprox 100 miles since install. I took pictures at 45 miles and again at almost 100, the rear wheels practically have no brake dust. The fronts do have some as to be expected, but even that is going to be exaggerated because I did some bedding during this first run.
Also when I first installed they did sequel, but after bedding them in with some hard braking at various speeds after the first 20 miles I haven't heard a peep out of them. I will continue to update, but as of now I am very happy.
Honestly I haven't noticed any loss in performance, but I never was one to drive aggressively anyways!

Thank you for taking photos and documenting the install process! Happy to hear you like them and didn't have too many issues with these initial prototype backplates. We still have some revisions to make with the sensor but all in all not too bad for the first versions.
