Any one from Cincinnati who could check out Quickbrick?

I would very much like to buy a set of anti sway bar end links for my 99 S80 T6.
The ones produced by Quickbricks look far superiour to any others that I have found out there.
Unfortunately, it appears that the owner of Quickbricks might be too ill to continue his business.
He gives an email contact address but does not reply, at least not to me.
His street address is shown as:
Quickbrick Motorsports
6057 Seiler Drive
Cincinnati, Ohio 45239
USA
Wonder if it would be possible for someone in Cincinnati or near by to go by that address and see if the business is truly not operating anymore?
If so, I sure wish someone like IPD would buy out his inventory and start selling his stuff....

I don't have any personal experience with this, but I have read posts from others who were not happy with the Quickbrick endlink offering. They supposedly are great at first, but after a while the Heim joints wear and space is created in the joints. Most people seem to prefer the IPD endlinks. If you do go with the QBM links, make sure you get the rubber covers that go over the joints and keep the dirt out.

Thanks for the input. What do you mean by 'Heim joint'? Yea I was definitely going to go for the rubber boots.
I am a little scared of the IPD end links because the latest post/review on IPD's own website was from someone who got a 'bad set' of end links. i.e. they were bad straight from the factory....
I guess one could assume that IPD has straightened out this problem but assuming things can some times be a bad move....

I've heard of the owner of Q.B. (Slater on V.S.) had been very sick and in and out of the hospital. I don't know of his status. Also, I heard of the joint issue (stuff gets in them) but Slater devised some sort of cover that supposedly fixed this problem, or rather kept the joint from wearing and squeaking.

QBM is out of bizeness as far as I can tell. Do get the IPD sway bar links which are excellent. While somebody may have recieved a defective set, IPD always replaces such goofs asap.

OEM links survive 6 - 12 months on the poly potholed Chicago streets. My IPD links lasted 3.5 years and then IPD replaced them for free under the 5 year warranty.

Highly reccommended.
