i got ripped off but i want to try to fix it

The pictures are hard to read but if they are damaged like to say they, where you say they I are I 100% agree with your machiniest. That area is critical, replace them...

I would toss them in the trash and chalk this one up to experience

Just my $0.02

BTW the photos are too out of focus to tell anything.

If you got them on Ebay or paid with PayPal, you can file a claim. I did so on a radar detector and got some $ back. There is a $25 decuctable and the max recovery is $200 I think but based on the fact that the pistons are used, I assume you paid less than $200.
The other thing is if the item description misrepresented the item. If it said 'perfect condition' then you have a claim. If the description said 'wear' or 'slight nicks' or something like that, then you are screwed.

If you bought at Ebay, check out the help section. Print out the fraud form and follow the directions exactly. Keep records (print out your emails, keep a log of phone calls, etc) to improve your chance of getting $ back. Pull the sellers personal info off Ebay (if that's where you bought them) and use it.
I bought my Eibach springs from a guy and he was 'too busy' to send them... well I called his house a couple of times and explained to his wife that my bank suggested I fill out a credit fraud report (I paid with credit card). Needless to say, he got the springs shipped very shortly after.

If the decription was misleading and you sent a Postal Service check then it's mail fraud (federal offense) but if you paid with personal check you will have a harder time (you will need a copy of the cancelled check).
Good Luck.

Contact Chris I. who runs Corral and see what happens.

I got ripped off and paid with a money order. I just filed an out of state small claims suit on him. I never heard back from him till i finally got judgement and he got a letter from the court saying the i had judgement then i heard from him right away when he never would answer me before. I got my money back from him that way then i dropped the judgement after i got the money.
