+ 3rd option is the one you have chosen for the 4 years the IMSB retrofit has been available. :dance:

I am with you though Johnny on not wanting to ship your car. In fact I have never had any of my cars in the shop except for tire changes (even then I only bring in the wheels) and paint (but not body work). I prefer to do everything else myself. So the IMS Solution is also not really an option that I would personally consider at this point in time. Kinda irks me a little the way they are marketing it, but in all fairness it's not my business how they run their business and if they chose to do it that way they have to anticipate that they will lose potential customers like you and me. Sooner or later here I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and do the Retrofit on my 986 and 996, even though I will be keeping these cars until either I'm dust or they are rust.

What about if you already have the retrofit? Is this an added protection ? or it won't work at all since the retrofit is a seal ceramic bearing
