Very interesting thread on one of the most important and most talked about issues of M96 ownership.
As a one year owner of an 04 Boxster S I can definitely say that it was a no brainer for me to go with the LN engineering bearing on the day I bought the car. I had done my homework for over a year before buying the car so I knew the risks involved with the IMS etc.
The one thing that I find surprising about this thread is that people are still prepared to save a couple of hundred bucks and buy a bearing that is not from LN but allegedly is cut from the same cloth. We are talking what, a $300 saving? I believe that is almost as risky as not replacing the bearing at all in some ways.
LN did the hard yards with the R&D for several years to bring the first reputable solution to this problem which I think in many ways has probably prevented the value of these cars from sliding right off the bottom of the scale so for people now to look at a generic version of the same bearing LN offer seems a little odd to me!
