My understanding is that a 2002 is likely to have the smaller single-row IMSB, but one can't be sure until things are dismantled. My car has done 77k kms. With the IMS solution it runs a bit quieter and I think smoother at idle, but I suppose that's subjective. The dual-row pro upgrade was not available when I had mine done, but I am not sorry I had the Solution kit installed. My old bearing looked OK, but had no grease in it at all, and did not spin as freely as I would have expected it to. If you search for my posts here you will see pictures of it that I posted at the time (a year ago). Good luck with it.
