IMS Eternal fix for Boxster, any good?

[thom4782]

This debate on whether LN's reliability is statistically proven by independent data has little value in the real world.

Porsche's numbers for single row IMS bearings show their failure rate is at least 8%. If owners want to bet their car is not one of the 8% or greater by not replacing their IMS bearings at the time of clutch replacement, so be it.

I'm not willing to place that bet especially given the complete lack of hue and cry on the forums about failures from the thousands M96 owners who have installed LN bearings.

If a maker of an Ims replacement cannot provide reliability of their product in terms of failure percentage or if they cannot provide a warranty/guarantee of their product why would I want to replace the existing one in my 2001 Box? With the Ims Guardian installed then the extra $$$ cannot be justified in this fast depreciating car.

If a producer of ims replacements cannot provide stats of failure rate then why would I bother?

I will save my $$$ towards a 2009 Cayman or newer.
