CRC is good stuff~

Shop did that again. I'll see how it goes, should come close to 500 miles on sat. I'll just prepare for new pads. Maybe get it done with the Rhfc, I did read that someone on here had the same issue in the front, but they had hawk's pads.
Still happy with the upgrade that the shop did for me. As they say, "you pay to play."

Kinda late, but after several thousands of miles and a months, I am satisfied with this upgrade.
1st week of December, i swapped the right rotor and decided to change the front pads, which were street performance (came with the kit).
Not sure if the rotor was a defect or the shop didn't bed them correctly. This new rotor came in two pieces and had to be assembled.
New pads worked well, and not much bedding was needed. Brake dust is less than the street type. The rear still has street pads. When needed I'll used these new pad types in the rear..

From 85k to 131k and beyond. This G is great with Mods I've done so far. The pads on the BBK were changed out in in late April , I think at 129k. Recently I had to cut into the exhaust line again(leak ) the welding job after driver side RHFC. Muffler shop cut into RHFC, due to rust flang of the stock pipe. Good thing they cut cause a small pipe inside the RHFC had been broken. If i plan for a cat back, i would have to cut again. (All good for now.)

As for my intakes, which were installed several months later; no issues with rain or snow. But, 3 months ago, I have this high pitch noise at high RPMs. Thought it was an exhaust leak, but all leaks were welded last month. I've seen numerous threads on here about it but no fix. I can only assume it's coming from CAI. I saw video of an American car with that issue and i think something was replaced between the intake and MAF....
