Did IPD Screw Up.. Again?!?! 1998

Lessons have been learned.

Avoid URO. Anything listed as "Aftermarket" at IPD could end up being URO.

With these control arms, I'm really irked here because IPD is only selling a low-quality part and not disclosing that it's URO. I saw that it was aftermarket, but not seeing another option, I trusted that they didn't sell junk...
...and learned another lesson - they do sell junk, if you happen to own a less-common car.

Maybe I am wrong in my thinking, but we as Volvo owners have a pact of sorts with IPD. We pay a premium and expect quality.

I'll say right now, I can get almost all of the performance parts that IPD sells for 10%-20% cheaper from places like Viva Performance.

I paid an extra $30.00 for these stainless lines because I was paying for the quality that IPD parts represent.

The vast majority of the folks I sit in traffic with don't care that I have IPD license plate frames or understand what that symbolizes about how I care about my car, or the safety and performance equipment that I have added to my car.
They do care if I rear-end them because some trusted IPD brake part turned out to fit and seal poorly.
