Elliot, I would suggest a phone call to Eddie Ruskin at Quantum Kits Cars would be very helpful as he should be able to assist with the information you are after. His contact details are in the FAQ section of the club website;
http://www.quantumowners.co.uk/faq-qoc/31-faq-general/142-qoc-faq-quantum- contacts.html I'm not aware of any H4 owners going through IVA, but other members have put cars through IVA so should be able to offer general advise.
