Default FVD Brombacher - High Quality IMS Repair Kits are $ 495 - New Release!!

In our constant quest to bring our customers the finest quality parts we have just released our IMS Bearing Repair Kits. These bearings are made for us by SKF in Germany and use the best materials available from them to ensure reliability and longevity. These kits retail for $ 495.

IMS Repair Kit "M96. Single Row" Ceramic – FVD Part # FVD 105 901 03 - $ 495

There is a lot of information online about IMS bearing failures, why they occur, how to detect them, how to install an aftermarket bearing, etc. So there is no need for us to go into depth on the subject. Our stance is to sell a top of the line bearing produced to higher specifications than what was originally in the car and is currently available on the market.

FVD IMS Bearings are manufactured by SKF in Germany and are highest rated SKF “Super-Precision” class of bearings which are characterized by:

High-speed capability
High load carrying capacity
High stiffness
Low Friction

Our Single Row Ceramic Bearings consist of the highest grade ball material which are 100% ceramic. The ball lubrication is a vital consideration so we chose the highest available heat resistant lubricant which is good to 160 degrees Celsius. We also chose the most durable housing seal made for its re-lubrication characteristics. These facts allow our bearings to run cooler and allow SKF to guarantee double service life over standard bearings.







IMS Repair Kit "M96. Dual Row" – FVD Part # FVD 105 901 04 - $ 495

FVD IMS Bearings are manufactured by SKF in Germany and are highest rated SKF “Super-Precision” class of bearings which are characterized by:

High load carrying capacity
High stiffness
Low Friction

Our Dual Row Bearings consist of the highest grade ball material available in a dual row bearing. The ball lubrication is a vital consideration so we chose the highest available heat resistant lubricant which is good to 160 degrees Celsius. We also chose the most durable housing seal made for its re-lubrication characteristics. These facts allow our bearings to run cooler and allow SKF to guarantee double service life over standard bearings.

The flier says:
1) Nothing about the dual row bearing being fitted with ceramic *****, so I assume that standard steel is used in lieu of ceramic......

2) Looks like the bearings are sealed & not open to splash lubrication as in the LN Engineering retro fit upgrade. That means they are relying on the grease to lubricate.....

Are we going back to what Porsche originally designed but with a more expensive bearing - the dual row is sealed, it uses grease as it lubrication and it has steel bearings and race ??

Well that posting should cheer up Jake no end. Plus a good few of the posters who went with Jake's replacement IMS bearing. Not heard from Jake in a while so maybe he has something to do with this new one.

For #1, here's what they said

Single Row Ceramic Bearings consist of the highest grade ball material which are 100% ceramic.
However re lubrication, not opened to engine oil

The ball lubrication is a vital consideration so we chose the highest available heat resistant lubricant which is good to 160 degrees Celsius.

Yes, I read that about the single row bearing, but as I said in my first comment "nothing about the DUAL row bearing being fitted with ceramic *****"....

One of the biggest arguments over the last million years was that the IMS failed because of its lubrication - or lack of it - when the grease was "washed" out by old engine oil.

Just when the IMS debates were dying down, looks like back to the future.

Have these been road tested? Although I'm not looking forward to replacing my ims, it seems like LN Engineering is the proven choice.

SKF bearings have been around for many years & accepted as a quality bearing however I'd agree w/ adcampo that knowledge of actual testing for this application should be provided which I've also not seen from LN .

+1 here for SKF. Should be interesting to see how this bearing stacks up vs. the one from LN Engineering.
