I have owned a 2004 Boxter S for 5 years. I bought the car used from a dealer in NJ. No records were available, so I took it to my mechanic in Belir, MD. The car had close to 90,000 miles on it. I did the L&K IMS bearing update and changed the clutch. I have 146,000 miles on the car now and have had no issues [knock wood]. I felt the $$ I spend to do the upgrade was well spent, as was the resulting piece of mind. Just my 2 cents.
