A guy on a Z forum made an IMS out of MDF plywood for his car. This was before the WRP-IMS mega-drama, so I don't have the link.

I can't give out anymore info, but he should be posting a thread in the next few days to explain his design and see how the interest is in the product. He will then determine if he wants to become an authorized vendor.

Interesting and mysterious. Looking forward to seeing that post.

Does anyone else think this is a reasonible solution? If this fixes all the mis-machined IMS's and gets them back up and running, I am willing to kick in for a "Brutal Fixes IMS's" fund. This is all if Brutal is okay with this.

you know what is a crying shame.....

Brutal's customer service blows Will's out of the water....AND IT AINT EVEN HIS PRODUCT!!!!!

really kinda of sad that brutal had to step up to the testing, rather than blame all of us for improper installation.

And now...the man is fixing some of the Improperly Machined Spacers....

along with truck of the month, we should have member of the month...LOL..i nominate BRUTAL!!

I believe there's enough "...Truth about WRP..." to last a long time.
New Vendor + beating the dead horse that is the WRP drama = Thread Closed
