I did the LN retrofit on my car this year. For sure the IMS Solution is the best fix, but also costs more. From what I've read, the retrofit failure rate is way less than 0.1%. On a 12 year old car I'm happy with those odds and think other failures are now more likely. My original non ceramic bearing lasted 12 years, hope to get the same or more out of the LN bearing.

Jake if you're reading, why is there a time limit on the retrofit, my car is a bit of a garage queen doing only 5000km/yr. I have your oil filter adapter & magnetic sump plug fitted, I also have a FilterMag installed & change the oil each 9 months with DT40. (I know you recommend 6 monthly, but I compromised between my normal 12 months). Seems to me under these conditions my new ceramic bearing should outlive the original?
