How much to put into preventative maintenance is so subjective. I'm convinced there is no right answer. I've over-maintained more cars than I've under-maintained. But I never saved on safety items like tires and brakes.

And you can't be sure it is even a candidate for an IMS replacement in certain Cayman years or if it has a replacement engine.
Mike, by far, customers that request the IMS Solution from the outset do so as an economic consideration. Yes, the Solution costs more, but if you are paying to get it done, and plan on keeping the car for a bit, the Solution makes more sense than getting one of the ceramic hybrids, simply because it is "once, and done". People seem to forget that the labor costs to simply get at the IMS is vastly more than any the costs of any retrofit kit, so doing in once now, and then again after so many miles does not always add up.
