Yeah, the RMS and IMSB are unrelated. They had done all the labor to get in there, so I asked them to do it while they were. Same with the clutch components. They all had some life left. I was thinking of doing the IMSB over the winter for my peace of mind and since the car was going to be laid up for a while with the rear wheel bearing I decided to bite the bullet and get the whole job done.
It cost significant money, but I am fortunate to be able to afford it. The P car is a very nice object, and I like to treat it well.
As far as the indy shop thing a few comments. They did no work I did not specifically ask them to do. I trust them to be competent. If they had brought something else to my attention, I would have probably had them do it too. I mentioned they were indy as a point of interest only, as in not the dealer. As far as adding the reputable shop part, there are indys and there are indys. Taking your car to Jake Raby (for instance) is quite different than taking your car Jiffy Lube, I though it might be of interest to anyone reading the thread where the work was done. Glad it brought you amusement. I didn't post the name because I didn't know if it was allowed on the forum.
If anyone wants to talk with me about the shop, PM me and I'll get back to you.

I'm going to have the same thing done next week on my 2003S at Callas Rennsport in Torrance, CA...
They will put the LNE IMS bearing in and replace the RMS. They have a 'special' going on for $1975 to do the IMS. I'm not sure how special this is.

I'm from the area and recently got a quote from Dutch Treats and they quoted me $2500. Yours sounds like a good deal to me.

That is a fair price for the work and a bargain for the peace of mind.

good idea to do both sides of the rear bearings IMO.
The labor is the expensive part of that job and if one side has gone ... I know as I'm just about to replace both rear next week. Only one side gone as well.
otherwise sounds like you have all bases covered .... enjoy!!
