i bought some brembo brakes from this vendor in the private classified section. https://g35driver.com/forums/brakes/...4pot-2pot.html
topspeed described them as being in excellent condition with 15k on them. when they arrived they had blown piston seals on the front callipers the rear pads were chipping/flacking off pieces and a front rotor had a 1/8 inch deep groove cut into it. the calliper paint was peeling on all 4 callipers because topspeed did not drain out the brake fluid when shipping.

THIS VENDOR IS A SCAMMER AVOID AT ALL COSTS

TOP SPEED REFUSES TO MAKE IT RIGHT CLAIMING THAT THE PICTURES SHOW THE TRUE CONDITION OF THE BRAKES look at the thread to see how the brakes were represented.


heres a pic of a blown calliper shipped to me.

 

daaamn... I can tell u one thing, they DO NOT look like the posted picture....

 

Just for the record, that's just a dust shield that shown torn in the pic. They're easily replaceable. The piston seal is located inside the caliper between the piston and the wall. Nonetheless, that is a nasty looking caliper. If the brake fluid wore off the paint during shipping, I would do a chargeback on the card and send the calipers back to them. Sorry for you misfortune.

If you don't mind telling, how much did you pay?

 

Sad, what you received looks nothing like the pictures! If you can't return them replace the rotors and rebuild/powder coat the calipers. Every once in a while someone gets screwed by private individuals here on DRIVER....sorry this happened! (just for the record)

I don't see this in your picture!!! That sucks man

 

do i still need to split the calliper to repair that? may as well rebuild all the seals if i have to split them.

payed 1080

 

he totally misrepresented them. look at when he started the thread, 2010 no wonder he didnt want to disclose the condition of them he had them forsale for 2 years.

its sad that hes allowed to be a sponsor pulling this
