These are practically brand new, less than 500 miles on them. Nothing wrong with them, been sitting in my garage for months now. New these are $650+shipping. Will sell for $450+shipping.

Hello?

Sold

For the record. This guy knowingly sold me warped rotors and lied about it.

I hope Karma catches up with you soon.

Screwed me too!!

Bought used Paragon Performance rotors for $650 and they are warped beyond useabiity. He is now ghosting me when I text him (unlike before sale).

Dude owns a pharmaceutical company. You'd think he would be more ethical than this.

He replied back finally and said "There's no such thing as rotors warping you f'ing moron"

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.

Yeah, he got out of pocket and when I checked him, he blocked my number.

Talked all tough and balled up like a little beeeatch!

I just might have to go to Louisville just to have a face to face. It's not even about the money. He needs to be taught a lesson.

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. :tup:

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.

Hard to believe someone with his level of financial means would lie in transaction like this one. Sigh. What has this world come to? People sell their soul and integrity for a dollar, rich or poor.

“500 miles pretty much brand new nothing wrong with it”….. the only thing remotely true in his listing is the miles, but even that was concealing the fact it’s track miles and not street.

What an ahole.

Did you just use pharmaceutical and ethical in the same sentence? lol

In all seriousness, this really sucks. I feel both for you and OP. I've been selling parts recently since I sold my Z and I literally just sold a pair of Z1 rotors. I don't understand how people do this, but it's common.

His wealth, position, status, etc doesn't even matter - this thread is a prime example. He's a POS for doing this. Takes balls do do ish like this more than once.

Just a thought: you guys said you know he owns a company. Link the site for it. We can leave positive reviews of how he ethically conducts business :)

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.

It's a specialized pharma type co. that doesn't really deal with the public so much https://rssynthesis.com/

I also think it's just him and maybe 1 other person.

I've been hammering dude with texts and, well, this isn't over yet...stay tuned.

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.

Sorry - not to change the subject but since I know I’ll be needing brakes soon - and I only drive on the street - original brakes on the car with 56k on the odo - and they are still holding well (just passed inspection with them) - but….knowing I’ll need some sooner rather than later - should I avoid the Z1 2 piece since I only street drive them? And if so - recommendations that won’t break the bank or similarly priced?

Thanks in advance,

….and @Rumblefish - sorry man - THAT SUCKS and just confirms more and more that PEOPLE SUCK!

I have the 2 piece on my Z, street driven only, and I haven't had an issue with them. Keep in mind I'm not hard on the breaks though and even when I am doing spirited driving, I still don't have any issues. As mentioned before, the rotors aren't really intended for track use, despite how they are advertised. Street only, in my opinion, you should be fine.

Update: Got the $350 refund from this clown:tup:

Wanted me to send back the warped rings. Too bad I don't have them any longer...not that I'd have sent them anyway. I sent him the receipt for the rebuild kit.

So ends this saga.

Came here to learn about Z1 rotors, and got sucked into the internet drama! :tup:

On serious note, RacingBrake is a bit out of my price range, so will be going with Frozen Rotors for my Z. Its not 2 piece, however everyone say they last a long time.

Wish these Nismo 2 piece fit Akibono brakes :(
