Ok guys, so ive finally decided to do the bearing upgrade on my base 986 1999 model. My only problem now is deciding which one to go with. Any of you guys have any experience of the different solutions out there. Eternal fix seems to be getting more and more popular,my concern is that its only a single row,and although they offer a spacer for the dual row, I dont know if it would be a good idea to go to a single row,from my present double row. Then there's the DOF system from pedro, which ironically he suggests using a steel bearing as opposed to LN's ceramic version. Then of course I could go with just LN's ceramic upgrade without additional oil supply. My heart says DOF,but I'm sure no expert. Any suggestions greatly appreciated,thanks. Btw,since ill be changing my clutch, should I go with a performance clutch? I dont track the car,i like some hard driving,but some people say that clutch pedal might become harder, so I'm guessing maybe not too good for street driving?
