I had the best P-car shop in the region do the following on my '02 S:

-Waterpump, thermostat, serpentine belt, coolant flush
-Replace RMS
-Replace IMS with LN Single Row Pro ceramic unit
-New clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing
-New dual mass flywheel ($600 part alone)
-Install Gbox 2nd gear popout prevention kit
-Replace AOS
-Oil change with Gibbs DT40
-A couple of other odds and ends

All of that work came to $5800 parts and labor, which was a lot but given the shop doing the work I felt was worth the cost.

I would not think $4900 for just the IMS Solution is good value for money. Then again, I wouldn't do the IMS Solution as I don't daily drive my car or subject it to much extreme use (and if you're doing the latter, the IMS isn't where you should be putting your $).
