Well, LN was no help regarding the circlip. They answer questions quickly but as my request was unusual, they thought I was trying to reuse the old bearing and then when I suggested an additional and lower cost IMS Solution choice by using lower cost materials that might even need replacing at certain intervals, they said they offer lower cost options that I'm already aware of. However, I've read about too many failures of the ceramic hybrid bearing they offer to feel confident with that choice especially since that bearing is now quite expensive too. And while I like the roller bearings, I don't think they have been out long enough to know how reliable they are.
So I figured a $1000 Solution with some cost cutting from the original would be great for us and profitable for them as well. I mean how many of us want the Solution and realize it is the best choice by far but are simply stopped by the extravagant price? I know I am and I read other comments online that suggests the same. And with these cars still falling in price, to spend $2000 on a bearing just doesn't make sense when the car is worth $5000.
Come on, LN, give us some options with the IMS Solution!
