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

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.

RumbleFish · 06-05-2023, 08:22 PM

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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
