The RND Roller bearing has been out for several years now. It's made private label for SSF Auto Parts at their request. Their sales staff wanted a quality roller bearing kit for the shops that preferred to use a roller bearing rather than ball bearing IMS kit.

FWIW, I've mentioned this on the forums previous that we had actually developed and tested a roller bearing option for the IMS Retrofit over a decade ago. I made the executive decision to go with the ceramic hybrid over roller bearing because Porsche had made a decision to use a ball bearing. This is backed up by their selection of a 6204 series ceramic hybrid bearing for their own IMS kit that was released last June.

Yes, and I responded with the fact I was mistaken in the interpretation of RND. I thought there was a reference to a new product, saw "RND" thinking this was research and development, not a product line, and made a mistake in posting this info.
