Lawrence @ Strafe,

1) The location under your username says "OC", which is what Orange County is commonly referred to.

2) You have obviously failed to do adequate research on RA/Scott Bush. Otherwise you wouldn't be so dismissive of those who speak out against RA/Scott and you wouldn't be saying "Really why was he banned? What did he do? I don't know about these things." If you had read this thread or talked to reputable shops and knowledgeable members in this community, you would already know.

3) One of the ongoing problems with Scott was/is his deceitful practice of grossly exaggerating performance capabilities of a given product or build setup. He got caught numerous times in several posts on the forums making outrageous horsepower claims that were theoretically impossible with the size of the turbos and/or fuel injectors being used. Reputable shops chimed in that the claims were bogus and Scott was challenged to prove his claims. Time and time again Scott failed to prove his claims, which eroded his credibility with the community.

SOOO... Now Scott has brake rotors with the RA label and I'm sure he is making claims about their quality, value, weight, and performance. How are knowledgeable members of this community expected to believe a goddamn thing Scott has to say about his product???

4) Since you are a paying sponsor/vendor, maybe you should know that Scott got caught repeatedly on other forums advertising, soliciting, and conducting business without paying to become a sponsor. How would you feel if another company that isn't a paying sponsor made jabs at your company or your product and tried to lure customers away from you????

This is the kind of guy that you and your company are doing business with. If you are willing to overlook and dismiss these things for the sake of profit on some brake rotors offered by one of the shadiest people to prey on the Z/G community... don't expect much support, sympathy, or diplomacy on your selling of this or any other product associated with RA.

OK enough is enough. Let me hit this BS 1 by 1:
1. My name is Lawrence and my co owner is Dustin and our business is Located in Los Angeles County not Orange County. We started Strafe because of a bad experience we had with a certain body kit company. Scott’s business is like 2 hrs away from us. We also have no dealings nor are we friends with Auto Infantry. So are we to be accused of being friends or partners with every business in Southern California? Really?

2. We became a sponsor because we were already on driver and Internet Brands offered us a packaged deal for G35driver and 350z. We liked it and stayed. We are a young company and we make small mistakes but we know what we are doing and where we want to be in a year.

3. As far as this BS with RA and your beef with him, that doesn't concern us. We researched what people and bandwagoneers say and didn't find a customer that stood up and has come to stop this relentless pursuit of an individual. We see more posts like this thread and really wasn't the issue like 3 yrs ago? Like I said we don't know the deal with you and him. I have the akebono brakes on my G35 and have been searching for 2 piece rotors. I was told by a friend to contact Scott and I did just that.

Now here comes the touchy Part I'm going to discuss with INTERNET BRANDS tmrw. I spent my money not yours in trying to bring what I felt was a good thing. These brakes have been long overdue. Now that it is done you want to stop me and my company from reaping a profit? The comments here will also be discussed with Internet Brands as I personally don't have a beef with RA or Scott. We don't hang out. We made a business deal.
I saw the g35 that Scott purchased from a female and he asked me to look at something on the g. I"M a Firefighter and could tell firsthand the fire started electrical not fuel. I didn't have a clue as to whose car I was looking at and to this date DON'T CARE.

Again the assumptions and speculations about me and my partners business is so whacked and far from the truth but I expect now someone to start thinking this stuff is true. I think what you are doing is wrong and the fact you searched out his name everyday and try to stop everything he does with anybody at all cost is ridicules and childish to say the least. Bash me and think what you want I think these brakes are a good thing and the calipers you see are mine from my personal car and the rotors that are being tested are mine also that is what I'm interested in selling, not the BS that has been brought up. So you basically stopped me as a vendor to make a profit because of your game.

I will be showing these posts to Internet Brands as a paying vendor on here and discuss the topic of this very behavior by mods and super mods alike.
Dustin from Strafe and Peter from Auto Infantry are or were good friends. Hate to bring that up since I have no issues with either Peter or Dustin but please try not to lie about **** Lawrence.

We all thought he was ok. I also knew and thought Peter was cool until I got shafted with my custom bumper. Dustin and I knew each other before Dustin sold at M1. That is where Peter was before AI. Dustin and I were team mates and friends so we started Strafe. We both have no dealing with AI or Peter something we steer clear of we shall see about these rotors if the same happens to us there also. Lessons Learned when your a young business. Lie? We said we don't do business with him and we don't we get our stuff on our own. We don't rely on those other companies to get our stuff. We go to the source. Anyway we aren't posting the rotors here and will decide not to bring them up on this venue. case closed and enough said about us.

Not quite. You're not posting the rotors here because the mods stopped you. The question is whether you will continue to do business with RA and continue to sell their products on other venues?

I see that Strafe failed to answer the question that matters.

I feel sorry for anyone who purchases "groupbuy priced" 1850 dollar rotors that have been within 1000 feet of Relentless Swindling, or have anything to do with that imbecile
