Hey everyone, I was looking into buying a couple products from Z1 motorsports found here http://www.z1motorsports.com/

Particularly this http://www.z1motorsports.com/350_g35...oducts_id=2171

Also a pop charger intake.

Has anyone has any experince with these guys? Should I be buying parts else where? Is there another/ better intake plenum to buy?

Just be careful about the Z1 branded stuff. Some of it is crap. (break lines)while other things are very good quality (hoses) I have spent about 5k there and out of 6 orders, 3 have been ****ed up to some capacity, including a 2 month wait on disks for breaks, where they also sent cheaper pads than what I asked for (Asked for hawks HPs and paid for it, they sent me the cheap ones). They also made no attempt to tell me what was going on. That being said, They offered to either refund part of my money or send new ones out, but having needed new rotors and pads for well over 2 months I just took the refund.

I asked questions about the Z1 branded test pipes. Will it fit an '06 What is the ID and OD of the pipe. Has anyone at the shop used it with a borla. All I wanted to do was find the right test pipe, I was going to buy something. The guy "Rod" told me everything I wanted to hear to get me to commit to the sale, and it was 2.5" while the borla was 2.25" same with the headers, the gaskets were 100% wrong.

Ive also had good experiences with them like when trying to find a new power steering rack, the guy I talked to was very helpful and knowledgable. So It can be hit and miss. Just stay away from Z1 branded stuff.

I disagree with "stay away from Z1 branded stuff" as I have Z1 2 piece rotor and Z1 20mm spaces and there great.

Their shorty headers are some of the best out there. Ive had spacers, plenum spacer, and miscellaneous pieces, and have been happy with them, customer service is really great too.

I agree, they have great products, great prices, customer service, fast delivery. I've never had any problems and I've enjoyed their products. Never dealt with z1auto. Z1 motorsports however, IMHO are one of the best places to buy anything z related and are my first stop when looking for anything.

Never had an issue with Z1 GA. Good customer service and have gone that extra to make sure I got what I needed. As a matter of fact I'll be ordering some more stuff from them soon.

I have their hatch struts and spacers, and bought my Akebono BBK from them along with other various items.

Great quality, and the service is impeccable. I had an issue with my brake install which ended up being an install error and the guy literally stayed on the phone with me for over 30 minutes walking me through everything, not to mention they were closing soon and I didn't feel rushed at all.

When I got the hatch struts I bought the 1 step up instead of the 2 step up and realized after installation I needed the 2 step because of my wing. Called them and they gave me a nice discount on it. They didn't have to do that at all yet they still did it, then followed up with me to ask how I liked it.

I highly recommend them.

Z1motorsports is awesome. I have their complete hose kit and hatch struts and they are awesome. I also ordered my SPC Toe Bolts from them. No issues with products or shipping.

They're made by zspeed, but z1 also has them in stock. I believe they are the same price. However, zspeed gives you free shipping and I believe they don't charge tax for the same product. I bought my aluminum undershroud from zspeedperformance for $189.00. However, z1 offers the undershroud in a matte black finish too for an extra $25 or something

I've bought from them a couple times in the past. I bought their aluminum intake pipe to match with my popcharger and I love it. Really makes my engine pay pop. Also recently bought their clutch & flywheel kit, a long with the z1 urethane transmission mount. Havent installed it yet, but I'm excited for it and looks great in the box. Customer service is awesome and will answer you any questions you have. Check out conceptzperformance.com too. They're also a good place to find parts. Also, I'm not all that fond of the V+ Plenum. I was thinking of getting one too, but I decided to stick with my motordyne spacer on my non rev-up de.
