Matt325is's car is in time-out

[alpinweiB]

damn this got really intense.
i bought a couple things from ireland a while back but after seeing those posts with ridiculously hacked grammar and spelling, on top of a horrible defensive attitude, i will be steering clear of IE from now on.

[speedhop]

I never intended to start a ruckus for IE...I simply wanted to state that in the past I have had very poor experience with them. Not only that, but the orders I received were poorly packed, missing parts, and poorly manufactured.

I'm sorry that others have had the same bad experience and overpaid to boot. I still wish IE the best of luck and I hope that things turn around. Based on the previous post by the "tool from IE" my guess is that won't be soon.

Um, SpecE30 racers enjoy their H&R races... cheap ass daily driving E30 owners go for the knock-offs

zing +1.

[Jand3rson]

Yeah, I'm a cheap ass because I don't track my car, and didn't want to pay $400 for springs that I don't need to pay $400 for.

Seriously Heeter, does the air smell differently at the elevation you have your nose in? And Jeff, wtf?

All have to say is it is very easy to point the finger at others before yourself,reason is we at IE give alot of sugestions alot!!!! to people and they go againest it all at time, also we place orders as instructed by customer so if you call us and say I want ex. rear subframe mounts z3,ti,m coupe for an E30 we're under the assumption that you should know better and you are doing something custom? who knows. See our problem is we walk people by the hand to much. I fully understand if something was are fault we should fix it,BUT! not if we ordered something a customer asked for. I am goint to look into this claim and see what is excactly this issue here now if I come to the conclusion that IE isn't at fault I will then get back on here and let everyone know how things turned out to be reason is I think when people get on this forums and just rip on all these shops sucks specially when they don't even know for certain what the issue really is. Nevertheless, I am sorry for what happened and hope you come to your conclusion soon one other thing our pistons aren't made in "CHINA" they are Ross pistons or Maxil please get your homework down before typing have a great night.

Best Regards

I'm going to be honest with you on this. My shorty's didn't match up well. They were installed correctly by a MECHANIC and kept blowing gaskets. Telling me to use gasket seal isn't a correct answer. Especially after going through three sets of gaskets. As far as the pistons go, until it's proven that IE is at fault, my mind is open. The plug wires I have from them work gret BTW, but I don't think they are specificly made for IE though.

wow, way to be emo-tastic. You don't need springs on a DD and if you wanted some H&R sport springs can be had for $150 barely used - I'd know I have a set. IE Stg 3's are great... for wannabe race fanboiz who like knock-offs.

Think about what you drive: Posing to be an 89+, rocking "race" springs, and replica BBS RS wheels...

Stg 3's clearly are meant to be people who want springs like H&R races but too cheap to shell out for the real deal. Kinda like the SS lines. I stripped a line when working on my car and needed a replacement pair and only could get through to the west coast at 6pm local on a Friday, and got a pair from IE. ... After seeing them, I quickly searched out a pair that TMS sold after comparing quality of the lines.

Same with spacers... having had H&R and IE, it's going to be H&R every day of the week.

I don't think I've bought or even seen one product from their original nor something I wouldn't want have something of better quality.
It fills a niche for people, whether cheap or racing on a budget, who want less for less money, but value isn't more.

And Jeff, wtf?

nothing personal, im just not a IE3 fan what so ever. is that what youre running?

[blck325is]

Wow, I was on the IE site yesterday about to get billy's and some stg 3's since my last attempt at getting a suspension elsewhere failed. I think I wanna wait it out and see how this plays out first....

[uofom3]

I think that was JE, not Ireland.

wasn't it Top End performance selling JE pistons? Not that this matters, I'm just curious if i remember right.

Ive never rode on IEs, but Mel has some springs for cheap. Im happy with mine, and Im pretty low.

Funny thing is his car looks 100x betters than yours.
