IPD Parts UK?

ash0t5 · Jun 22nd, 2011, 22:55

I only want the best for my car, the front anti-roll bar drop links need replacing and ive looked around and the IPD heavy duty links are ment to be the best but where can i get hold of them in the uk?

A few people on t5d5 have had the IPD links fail fairly quickly.

We have now moved on to trying the meyle HD links from "all german parts" (a dealer in Leeds), myself included.

I'm running the IPD bars and find the meyle links perfectly adequate.

If you insist on IPD stuff then they can be found at www.partsforvolvosonline.com they also do the meyle links but at double the price of all german parts ;-)

I keep the full range of IPD bars in stock at the best UK delivered prices.

BUT, I dont import their drop links or anyone else's for that matter as they are no better than genuine Volvo stuff!

Regards, Don.

Even if the Volvo ones are as good as Meyle or IPD the Volvo ones are £110, even if you use FRF they are £93 plus postage for a pair

The Meyle heavy duty ones are £30 for a pair

Yes they are slightly thicker and have larger ball joints.

For the price they appear to be a bargain and appear to be well made.

I wanted uprated ones as I'm putting more load through them and had heard a few horror stories about the IPD ones failing fairly quickly. I don't mind replacing bits after a reasonable time but the meyle ones appear to be the right product at the right price IMHO.

Yep anti roll bars. Don is the cheapest with fast delivery (I speaketh from experience).

The bars make a big difference! I was amazed at the change, even on the bars soft setting (the latest ones have 2 settings).
