Over the 11 years I have owned my 2002. I have purchased stuff from just about everyone.  IE has been consistently good. The one item that I had an issue with was the design of the camber/toe in adjustment tabs.  Now if you notice they have "improved" sets available. In addition to the camber/toe in sets I have IE swawbars, urethane bushings & steering coupler, rocker arm locks, regrind cam, silicon hoses, and many other items on my car & not one do I have a problem with. I have called many times & spoken to Jeff and others, they seem cool and informed.  Bottom line is I would buy from them any time if I need a part/product.  My pro mechanic also recommends them so I think I will stick with them regardless of the opinion of the original poster.

seems like this is becoming the thing to do publicly, hammer on someone. I wish you folks would just stop posting and move on...

 

take your own advice. the rest here are only giving their good experiences' with IE, and you are taking it personal. you would rather we shut up, unless we something bad to say. it seems no one but BMW_200274' has. 

 

sticks and stones...

Can't, it's troll week.

 

Gotta keep the troll flowing.  It's only Thursday.

 

As to Ireland, yeah, they ain't perfect.  I think most of us have a story or two about something that's not

gone right with them. But they make a bunch of serviceable stuff and sell it for less than competing products.

And they have a number of things you just can't get anywhere else. 

 

And my experience is that you eventually get what you need.  (Unless it's for an E30! heh heh...)

They're in business, and not out to rip anyone off.

 

 

 

heh

My experience with IE goes back to the late 90's. I bought a used Getrag 265 5 speed gearbox for an auto to 5 speed conversion in my 73 E3 Bavaria from Jeff Ireland.   A year later, the gearbox starts sounding like a cement mixer. Jeff didn't have another gearbox and I sourced one elsewhere. Jeff gave me parts credit for the gearbox. Think about it, parts credit for a used gearbox with no info on it and I had it for a year. That to me is customer service!  My tii currently has IE poly bushings. My former E30 had a IE stainless steel exhaust (music to the ears). I've bought a lot of parts from IE and will be a customer in the future.

It was said somewhere else, problems are going to happen. It is how you deal with the customer when they happen that shows who you are. Sounds like Ireland stands up an helps out when things go a little sideways. Nice!

I just spent 3 hours modifying a $150 IE 5 speed shifter plate to allow me to use reverse...so my feelings towards his company are a bit sour right now. 

[Pigpen]

Hey! Jeff is a great guy , big contributor to the West Coast 2002 racing scene.

And Yes, he knows how to run a business.

Ive always found them to be top notch. Great advice when asked and they make more stuff than whats on the website. Recently asked them about making pistons for a 10.5:1 application for a 2l crank and 1.8i head and guess what they have them in stock in forged. Ireland engineering is the lifesblood of the 02 modifier and a great deal of why 02's have had such lasting appeal.

I've had the pleasure of doing business with Jeff and IE from both sides of the counter and can say he and his team are stand up guys that know how to run a business.
