Hey all just wanted to let you know about a great Vendor by the name of East Coast Scooby with www.iaperformance.com... I ordered a set of speaker adapter rings, and his laser cut tweeter brackets + fasteners for my friends sti.. We got the package lightning fast.. WHen we opened it everything looked great, and made with awesome worksmanship. I just wanted to to say Thank you publicaly to ECS and www.iaperformance.com for making my life easier.. So anybody on the fence about ordering from them have no fears Stephen will take care of your needs.. SO go take a look at speaker rings, tweeter brackets, and other great products over at www.iaperformance.com..

Thanks again man,
Dave-

Yep, I agree. Stephen is a really cool guy and has a very good development car too, hehe. I have gotten two sets of speaker rings from him and they were both flawless with all needed hardware.

Keep at it man,
RJ

Another thumbs up for iaperformance. I had bought the speakers adaptor plates from him, and when the rear adaptors didn't fit right he retooled them and sent the retooled version out to me rite away. Awesome products and awesome customer service.

Glad to hear the feedback. :)

Hello All,

I wanted to chime in here...

I had ordered a part from Stephen at IA Perfomance and it turned out that the one he thought had been shipped was not what was correct as to what was advertised.

I wrote Stephen letting him know of this problems and I was waiting for the typical, "well, you have it so deal with it routine" or the complete lack of responsiveness that many seller's have.

To my suprise I got a the COMPLETE opposite. Stephen was EXTREMELY responsive and EXTREMELY concerned about the issue. He gave me a full refund and did not even give me any sort of run around I have heard many other people having to deal with.

I have been buying on the internet since 1998 and I have dealt with all kinds of vendors. I must say Stephen's response, concern, and quick action easily sits in the top 5% of my best experiences.

Hats off to Stephen... great vendor to deal with and a good person.

Kevin

Kevin- I'm happy to hear my reaction was well accepted. I hate mix ups (especially due to my error) and like to resolve them as quickly as possible.

Can't agree more - Stephen and IAPERFORMANCE are top notch - Thanks again Stephen for the v8 steering pump - great service and unbelievable shipping turnaround !! Hope the move is going / went well !!

Leo.:banana:

Leo- glad to hear the pump made it there quickly. The move is still in progress :/ Times whene I wish we did this back in the spring time to avoid summer time heat.

I ordered a Twin scroll kit and it arrived with two 50 gallon bags worth of punuts! Everything was nicely packed and wraped. Few days later I ordered a ABS pump, that I needed FAST and told him to send it out as soon as he could and send it fast. It was thursday I think when I called and orderd the used part. A Box from USPS arrived today and inside again is a heap load of penuts and a pump neatley wraped with foam on both ends:disco: Wasn't expecting the ABS unit until Tuesday but hey now I have a reason to skip work.

;)

Thanks, keep up the great work!!

Just ordered from Stephen and have sent several emails with questions relating to speaker installs. All have been answered quickly, sometimes within minutes! Very helpful vendor and if the adapter rings are half as good as the customer service, I'll be set!

Thanks www.iaperformance.com! Highly recommended.

Yea i bought an OBD relocater kit (which ironically i never used, lol) but it came in no time at all. It was much more of a "kit" than i pictured. Hell it had instructions which is more than i can say for every thing else i've bought. Not only that but i asked a few questions about his tranny swap into the wagon as i had a gc8 which was similiar. My questions were answered very quickly but most importantly they were thoughtfully answered. You could tell he took the time to read and understand my question and answer it fully. It's alot better than a "blanket" answer that is all too common with many vendors. Unfortunetly i haven't had the need to buy more stuff, but hope to have the chance in the future.

bistrosti-we're notorious for peanuts :D Glad to hear all arrived safe and sound.

silverwrxmike-glad our speedy service made an impact with you.

Soon2bgreat- I look forward to your repeat business down the road. We do have GC8 adapter plates ;)

I've never evevn bought anything from IAPerformance, but I e-mailed Stephen to ask him about swapping JDM drivetrains into Wagons. He was polite and helpful, though he knew who was getting the sale and that it wasn't him.

Well, Stephen, she's done, V7 STi RA Spec C goodness shoved into every corner of my super-sleeper.

It's one thing for a vendor to support a paying customer, yet another to discuss pros and cons with someone just leeching information. Thanks, IAPERFORMANCE, and you're on my list of future vendors.

-Sean

sean- happy to help. We have a full drivetrain assembly here if any of your envious fellow wagon owners are interested :D Plus I just stumbled upon pink trailing arms and lateral links. Pink is what all of the cools kids run :banana:

Stephen is THE MAN when it comes to getting what you need. even if its something he doesn't have, he can get it! highly recommended and sought after for all my parts.

big thumbs up for East Coast Scooby!!!! i emailed him about getting some spacers for my new speakers and got a response within minutes. bought the parts the same day and got a tracing number a day later. i will buy from him in a heart beat and i have to say that he is one of the best vendors i have ever bought from.

keep up the good work bro!!!

Ordered a completel Ver8 Longblock w/ twinscroll from Stephen. He found a freight company that wasn't going to charge me twice as normal becuase of my location that his normal freight company considers rural. Got it to me right on time before I left town despite the shipping setbacks. Very smooth service. Stephen answered all my questions quickly, and dealt with me calling him over and over again :p

Version 8 Engine is beautiful. Should have it up and running within the week... hopefully.

sorry to hear. You may want to check the injector in the misfiring cylinder too. We've seen 50K mile ones clog up a tad. Any chance you have a light weight crank pulley?

Ebay should get those sold, or even the persons on Nasioc.

I just purchased from door extendors from them last week. I was here in like 2 days. I couldnt believe it.. I know it depends on where you live but still =] Thanks!!

I had a very small order of extended door pins which cost all of $6 shipped. I work at NAPA, but it was a good deal cheaper to get these from Stephen than with my discount at work. He responded to my order quickly over a weekend, and I had the parts within a week. I was pleased to see he puts as much effort into my $6 order that he puts into a $60 order. If I ever need anything that IA Performance can provide, they will be my first call. Thanks Stephen, and keep up the great work.

customer service is our #1 priority. $5 or $5000, you're all treated with respect, honesty, and professionalism. Something that seems to be hard to find these days in teh business world.

Thanks again Stephen - the motor runs beautifully. Once I figured out a small wiring mess up on my part and had power to the ECU it fired up on the first crank. It runs better than my old stock motor.

And damn it's fast. Scares my girlfriend and I. :devil:

While Stephen specializes in double posting (see above ;) ) I will say this: I've never spent a dime with him but have hounded him several times with questions. With each query came a quick and informative response. One of these days, when I have two nickles to rub together, I hope to send one his way!

Ron

I feel i gotta chime in every time i see a post about Stephan, He hooked me up with an ill deal on a Twinscroll conversion kit for my WRX, and when it took a little bit longer than HE thought it should, he threw in a set of gaskets for free.

I've been meaning to get in contact with you about that thing we talked about over new years - sorry - i'll catch you online sooon - schools just been kicking my ass.


Cliff notes: IA performance is the first place i look for anything concerning my car - he's the real deal and everyone who knows whats up should go there for their JDM goodness.

-J

uanbomber- thank you for the kind words. Double posting takes a while to master :-P

faylix- glad to hear all arrived safe and sound. We stress timely deliveries, if for some reason they are delayed we try to make it better in various ways (gaskets, etc). Thank you for the feedback :D

Hello,

I would also like to personally thank Stephen at IA Perfomance for his communications, and responses to my inquiry. I was looking for a bulkhead and front wiring harness and he supplied me with pics and timely responses. Althought their complete V7 bulkhead harness was not what "I" needed (so its still available, and at a great price), I am mostly writing to show my appreciation for the responses, and pics!! Thanks !!

Randy

Randoramma- even though the harness did not work out I'm glad to have helped in your project build. Please drop us a line as it progresses.

Thanks so much to IA. I recently purchased the 6.5" thin spacer. When I recieved the package, i realized i miss read the chart and needed the thick large. I recieved a quick reply by email and they exchanged the parts with no problems, even paid for the shipping back to me. :disco: :banana:

- Joe

I want to jump on this bandwagon too. I ordered the thick adapter kit and some spacers on Monday. It got here today. Very fast shipping, correct order, and the spacers are well made. I'll certainly spend more money with IA Performance!

wow, can't believe I haven't seen this thread

Stephen had great customer service even before he moved to AZ and opened his own company. He installed my TXS stage 2 a long while back, and when we found there no gaskets or mounting hardware, he got some gaskets of his own to lend to me so that I could get running!

How hot is that?

And THEN, when I swapped my version 7, he would have every miscellaneous part I needed, like an uncut engine harness. It didn't have the right knock sensor because it was version 8, so he put one one to work for my version 7 in exchange for my mangled version 7 harness.

Double hotness.

And then, I talked to him about the "exchange your heads for cash" service, where I can mail in my version 7 heads, he'll send me some version 8 heads, $500, and a postcard! Awesome! lol j/k

Great service and way cool stuff.

I'd have to agree. Stephen took the time to answer my 'harassing' :lol: questions and really worked with me to accomodate shipping and receiving of my 6MT.

Thumbs WAY up for Stephen at IAP, aka East Coast Scooby

GGT

He has the best prices around on OEM parts. And I can't believe how fast my parts got to me.

TMS

Hi,

You guys just beat me to do this as I was about to start a thread on this supplier.

I hail from New Zealand and have been in discussion with Stephen for a 12litre IC Tank for my Version 7 STi.

He has been absolutely awesome with his dealings with me and has sent me an awesome kit for my vehicle. The pricing and shipping was great. The discussion on the supply of this IC tank started like Feb of this year and he has kept me upto date all through out the period. I offered to pay first, but he was reluctant to accept any payment until he knew the quality of the product that he was sending me.

I am looking at getting a few more things from him and I would recommend this Supplier & Stephen to anyone. You will not have any problems.

Great performance Stephen & IAPerformance.

cheers, mo

IAP is the shizzle :)

Need some weird obscure stock part? Want the JDM version of that part? Lost a trim piece??
He has it. Every time. For dirt cheap money..

What's their website??

Check out www.iaperformance.com

Well I went ahead and bought this harness...with no regrets!!! Thanks Stephen for all your help in finding exactly what I needed even if I didnt know. Excellent service and even better prices! Thanks again!

Randy

What can I say. These guys are terrific. I dealt with Stephen, he's the best.
Anything I asked him he knew the answer off the top of his head, even cited dyno plots for each item I asked him about with my set up.

I ordered a fully built sti ver6 type ra trans from Stephen. It arrived in less than a week! Thank you, thank you for top notch service!

i couldn't agree more, the gauges i bought from him were mint and he offered plenty of help in getting them hooked up.

Earlier this year, my MAF connector plug and wiring accidentally fell down the side of the engine, and got melted onto my exhaust manifold, rendering it completely useless.

I scoured all my local workshops and wreckers looking for a new one, and short of buying an entire wiring loom, I couldnt get one.

I emailed a few vendors from this forum, and got some responses...some with the parts, some without. The ones who had the parts, quoted me RIDICULOUS costs for them.

Stephen from IAPerformance.com, didnt have this part at that point in time, but he did some searching for me and found it elsewhere...at a very reasonable cost of ZERO DOLLARS, plus postage!!!

The part got to me super quick and well packaged.

For this, I commend Stephen on his fantastic customer service, and his ultra fast responses to my emails :)

Just received my CW carbon hood from Stephen at IAPerformance.
Looks great and wicked light :banana:
Thank you to Jon for a excellent shipping job. Thanks again for the good deal
I'll do what I can to help clear out that huge inventory of parts :cool:
A+

Glad we could help! Now hurry up and send us some pics!!!!

Jon

yeah, pics please:)

Sorry guys... I wont be installing this for a couple monthes. My friends and I are already planning on an install day. Who else is in? Not until the snow and salt has washed away.

Got a JDM v7 swap at IAperformance near end of 2005. Smooth and fast, is all I got to say.

Only one hickup along the way: the AVCS doesn't seem to want to work for us. But Stephen stepped up and spent a few days troubleshooting the wiring. After determining that it wasn't the wiring, he went ahead and ordered two more solenoids from Japan.

Ordered rear speaker mounting bracket
4/13/2006 12:55PM - Placed Order
4/13/2006 8:56 PM - Order processing
4/14/2006 3:04PM - E-mail from USPS saying that it shipped with tracking #
4/17/2006 - bracket received
4/18/2006 - e-mail from IAP saying that it should have been received.

Overall very happy. Lots of e-mails, almost on the excessive side, but thats fine with me.

Dauss- we've tried to cut back the emails a tad, but they're just too easy to send every time :D Glad to hear all items were received in a timely manner. Let us know if there is anything else we may help you with.

Stephen

I'm sure a lot of customers would prefer excessive e-mails than none : )

Spoke with Stephen today about some Aquamist parts I needed. He was very helpful and took the time to answer all of my questions.

IA Performance is a great company to deal with.

Thanks!
Mike

i orderd some speaker brackets from them and was charges 54$ no big deal. i recived the package and everything is good. the sender was GABE

a week later i recive anothe package in the mail from IA, and look at the invoice and see its another set, and now the sender was SC, at this point i was now charges with 108$

i though i accedentaly orderd 2 and so i checked the original invoice and they were the same 1 order. they just decided to bill me twice and send 2. when the invoice only asked for 1

so i call gabe and told him abbout the situation and he said that they accedentally send 2 and billed me twice, he said he would take care of it right away and would email me.

3 days later no email no phone call nothing

i now owe 150$ ito the bank because of the 54$ IA billed me for an the overdraft fees. and still no word from IA.


im going to call them tomorow morning to see what happend but this is not cool at all.
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:


ill update on this asap!

I've ordered numerous parts from IA Performance with no problems. I would consider them a legit vendor which gave me good customer service. It sounds like they made a mistake, but I wouldn't go so far as to call them scammers.

Hopefully they can clear things up when you talk to them tomorrow. Good luck...

Call your bank about the situation about the company over charging what you originally intended. They can't blame you for a company overcharging you and than laft a NSF on ya because that was not your fault. You knew how much you had in your bank, and how much they were "supposed" to charge. So make sure to contact them.

just recived an email and they are working hard on this problem, looks like everything is going to be just fine.

thanks IA for being prof.:)

So you started this post before even getting to the bottom of things with the vendor...

thats why i said it was still going to be updated.

and now problem solved. the overall getting billed for two items without the buyers concent is already a prob.

but IA fixed everything, so this is not a THUMBS UP THREAD:banana:

You need to ask a mod to modify this thread title. Sounds like they simply made an error and they are fixing it. Hate to see IA get a bum rap from the title.

Just to add, I have delt with IA before and always considered them an honest vendor.

Alex

I'm glad they're taking care of you, waving the scammer flag is a very serious accusation these days.

just recived an email and they are working hard on this problem, looks like everything is going to be just fine.

thanks IA for being prof.:)

And thank you for being professional in regards to the title of this thread, way to call people scammers before they even had a chance to fix the problem.

Libel

Wow way to slam an awesome vendor before they had a chance to rectify the issue.

Didn't go to law school, but good to know :)

Wow... sounds like someone jumped the gun. I have nothing but good things to say about IA Performance. Stephen helped me out in a big AVCS jam and then emailed shortly after to make sure I had the problem solved.

Guys I know money is important but mistakes happen and I doubt any real vendor is going to try and rip you off for small change. Coming on here and calling scammer w/o giving a company some time to sort it is just crazy.

IA is awesome... Steven is one of the best..

That is all.

IA is awesome... Steven is one of the best..

That is all.

Yeah I second that. I have dealt with Stephen a couple of times and he provides nothing but the best service and prices. Next time, try to work something out instead of jumping the gun and putting scammers on the topic before anything happens. Everyone makes mistakes but not everyone steps up like Stephen does.

Not flaming here, but you really should ask the mods to delete this. IA is top-notch. :)

will do boss ^^

Everyone Likes IAP and stephen, Accidents happen,

But there are like 5 vendors in Arizona, and the only one I would let drive any of my cars away and keep for awhile is IAP!;)

I've had nothing but good experiences with IAPerformance and Stephen.

First, I bought some water injection components and Stephen took a bunch of time to talk to me and figure out what I needed. The setup worked just like he told me it would.

I also had some issues with wiring up my TGVs on my v7 swap and once again, Stephen was most helpful.

Thanks!

crazymikie- glad to help :)

Stephen

Just wanted to add to the list of people really satisfied by IA. I ordered speaker adapter rings and they wound up not fitting at all (silly polks). I figured it was my fault and shot off an e-mail to them just to let them know no polks will fit the 6.5" adapters and thought I would just have to resell the adapters, but Stephen sent out some predrilled adapters that fit my speakers the next day and was really helpful throughout the entire process. Definitely a great vendor.
