Z1 - 2 piece Rotors - Sport/Akebono brakes (front)

Brake cooling for Nismo bumpers

In his own words: “Z1's effort to reduce weight is on of the reasons they warp so easily”

I always ask people to clarify, is the xxx miles street or track miles.

What a bs excuse. The reason for warped rotors (excess pad deposits) is bad braking habits.

The problem with the Z1 2pc rotors is they are too light; they don't have enough mass to cool off properly.

That doesn't happen with RacingBrake rotors.

Since I'm not tracking the car and I'm pretty light on the brakes when running in the twisties, I think they'll hold up fine after the rebuild.

btw, I watched this clown on the track on his youtube ch., all I saw was him getting passed and never making a pass. He's some punk with money that thinks he's special.

Z1 2pc rotors are totally garbage for tracking, I wrapped two sets in 3 track days. Definitely under 100 mile per set. I agree the z1 rings does not have enough mass to absorb all the stopping energy from tracking condition. And also the wrapping could also contribute by its non-floating design.

People should avoid buying used 2pc rotors, especially the Z1 ones.

All of that is undoubtedly true.

I was sold these rotors as "never used on the track", "practically new", "nothing wrong with them" but when I asked why he was running track pads on the street,
he said "everybody who uses them on the track, uses them on the street...idiot!"

So, he admitted that he had used these at the track. All I know is they were warped, not suffering from 'pad residue'.

I did, he said he never used them on the track and then subsequently, he basically admitted that he did use them on the track.

He found out that the Z1 rotors don't work on the track. Now he's trying to recoup some of his mistake.

Don’t forget he also sold a pair of Paragon 2 pc that’s warped beyond correction.

For someone that paid like $10k for a set of BBS center lock wheels, a $1.5m+ address, I just don’t understand the need to lie just to recoup a few hundred bucks.

Yeah, he said the Paragon's were perfectly fine too. Called me a 'show and shine desk jockey'. I offered to race him at Willow Springs anytime.

I told him if pays me the $350 for the rebuild kit, I won't make his life miserable.
