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'.
