If you want the best, go for the IMS Solution, which is the only permanent IMS retrofit on the market. A lot of independent shops now do the Solutions, and LN released a dual row version earlier this year.

That said, just be aware that any shop doing the Solution worth its salt would flunk your car in the pre install inspection due to metal in the filter and/or sump, and refuse to do the install.
Have you seen my Car J? Have you looked at my car. You don't Know at all. I was asking about the roller bearing, not you opinion about what you don't know. Thanks for the info about the roller bearing.
And to expand a bit on this feces with LN and their claim of never suffering a failure, which has been proven not to be true, and their 'Prequalification' as absolute dog feces. What they're doing is trying to cherry pick cars that never had a problem to begin with, so it's a huge question weather or not these cars would of ever had an issue with their bearing ever, anyway. So - Not impressed either with Stuck on Stupid comments- i know, it's the internet, or LN's magic bearing that only fixes problems that don't exist. T/Y
