1800ES corners now! I installed the front/rear sway bar kit on my 73 ES. The front bar is maybe half-again as thick as the original and went in easily. The rear is a bit more fiddly but workable. You must install 2 reinforcing plates under the back seats to strengthen where the new end links tie in. On each side however, 2 of the 4 plate attachment points end up right over boxed structural members so you can't use the nuts and bolts supplied. Ken at IPD agreed with using self-tapping screws for those, and the supplied bolts and nuts for the other 2 corners. The improvement in cornering is not subtle, it's all grins. For the first time the car handles like the sports car it looks to be!

A Comparison of Parts Distributors and Shipping This month I made two large parts purchases, one from IPD, the other from Rock Auto. (Important info I live in Canada) The IPD delivery came very quickly even without the extra shipping options chosen. Quicker than I thought because when I received a call at 12:40 at night saying UPS needs $60.00 in duty fees to be paid before morning delivery I was bittersweet enthused. Cheerful that my parts were here quick, but peeved that once again I am dinged hard on fees. In comparison with my Rock Auto order where my similar value order came in 3 separate deliveries and yet I was charged nothing for duties/brokerage fees. Perhaps IPD should look at their shipping process. I do still very much appreciate the service they provide for keeping our old iron on the road.

I ordered some parts for my IPD… I ordered some parts for my IPD received them very quickly. One part was defective and they shipped another part immediately when I notified them very happy with the service and will be ordering more parts.

Product Reviews On your site I reviewed a crankshaft pulley I had a little trouble with. You did not post the review. Perhaps someone else had made a similar review previously and you didn’t post it? That would’ve saved me a great deal of effort. Perhaps someone else is thinking about buying this same product and will be unaware of the issues because they can’t see MY review? I gave it 4 stars, it’s not like I was bashing the pulley. I’m pretty disappointed about this. I’ve heard other say you don’t post even slightly negative reviews of your products but, I didn’t believe them. Was I wrong?

Love IPD; great selection and pricing, but their website could use some fine tuning ... Although I find the IPD website poorly constructed, if you dig you can usually find what you want, and usually for a great price. Plus, they regularly give the option between OEM Volvo or aftermarket, and it's nice to have a choice. Hint: Always go OEM! Good company.
