The claims alone should warn you against this specific product. Nothing is Eternal.

There are IMS replacement bearing kits where many thousands of owners over many years with many tens of thousands of kilometers of driving and many postings on forums might lead you to suspect that they are reliable. There are other newer products where it is too soon to tell...interesting design theories but where is the proof?

And a lot depends on the skill and experience of the installer.
