Dennis raises an interesting point.
The '98 (presuming it has the original engine) has a dual row bearing which is by the stats that came out in the lawsuit is ~4-8 times more reliable than the later Porsche single row.
The Pelican bearing uses the same materials as the original Porsche bearing but uses a single row with less load bearing capability.
The labor involved is the same in doing a swap for most bearing kits.
