While I’m certainly not loyal customer, nor am I a believer in their Stage I - IV packages, and their claims of super high HP which are probably not the best use of your disposable income, they do offer some good products at reasonable prices. I did picked up a strut tower brace (~$195) from them, which is the same as the one that everyone, including IPD and Volvo, picture with the Ohlins Road Holding Kit. Hey if that bar is good enough for the car that they installed a $2000 suspension upgrade on, its good enough for my basically stock R. It also appears to be identical to the one offered through the Volvo parts department, and we all know how that experience can be sometimes. I think the brace is much better then the slightly more expensive IPD piece with looks like it was fabricated from the parts bin at Home Depot.

As for the K&N filter I think the filter itself is a good piece, this is something that several mechanic friends of mine use, as well as others on this board. Often people include K&N on their signature lines, when listing their mods. As of this afternoon, EA states the K&N filter is good for an “Est. Gain for Turbo Charged = 10HP”. While this claim may be high, we’ll never really know unless someone out there dynos their car with a stock filter and then with the K&N filter. However EA’s numbers are well within the “up to 15 HP” that is listed right on K&N’s website. Also K&N is not one of those fly by night companies, like some of those infomercial products. For what it’s worth the filter is ~$3.00 cheaper then the non-sale price from IPD.

I think the best way to end this is to quote P. Dwyer’s post from this morning; “As always, take it with a grain of salt, it's provided for informational purposes by a person selling a product: read it critically.”

...I Have Used Them for Various Parts...NO Problem...Yes, Some HP Claims Are Out of Line But It Does Have More Non OEM Products Than Any Other Volvo Site...I Consider It a Valid Place to Check, Claims Aside...Prices Are Fine...Want to Talk HIGH PRICES?...Try IPD!!!...Just My Opinion, Folks...Be Easy on GoJira!!!...AL.

If you haven't noticed from previous posts, Eastern Aerospace doesn't have a stellar reputation on this board. If you believe that their air filter thingamajig can net you 14 HP then you're the type that will believe anything. Just like "Stoned" who thinks you can wring 500 HP from the turbo inline 5 engine. He must have been REALLY stoned when he typed that BS up. BTW, check out some of EA's prices too, if you do a little bit of comparison shopping, you're sure to find much better deals on parts similar to theirs. And as for the parts you can't find elsewhere, some of them aren't offered simply because they do practically nothing but lighten your wallet. Seriously, consider shopping elsewhere for Volvo performace parts - you'll be glad you did.

They got cool stuff man.....the guy knows everything about making your volvo fast yo. he can hook u up w/ different stages of crazy horsepower gain....he's got this 500 some hp package.

The indy tech I bring my car to (Volvo and IPD certified) has recommended some of their services. I'd confirm with an independent Volvo tech in your own area who's had some experience with them.
