Default feedback on IMS bearing and RMS fixes

Hey guys I would like some feedback on the european parts solution fixes on their IMS bearing and the RMS. I have tried the IMS bearing on my boxster. The IMS was installed two years ago, and no complains at the moment, but i read about other IMS options in the market. European parts solution also developed a fix for the RMS. If any of you guys have used any of this parts please let me know, I also would like to hear recomendations prior performing this upgrades. Thanks in advance for the advice.

Guys I am just asking for some feedback on the technology that european parts solution offers vs other parts that you might have used. I know about the failures and I have read the different threads posted regarding this issues.

LN bearing all the way

Look up either IMS retrofit or IMS solution and buy either of those.

I put in the IMS solution and never looked back. No sense in second guessing or worrying - the engine will fail 100 other ways before I ever have an issue with the IMS.

Huh^ ? Are you saying that you bought "the solution" but it doesn't seem like "a better route to go"? Not following...

European Parts is clearly trying to break into the lucrative Caribbean Porsche Market...

I guess my engrrrish wasn't so good there! Attempting to type faster than my mind.

No, I think the Solution lives up to what it's represented as...the ideal fix. All the reading I have done on here and the design of it makes complete sense if you want to repair the OEM style and never look at this again.
There doesn't seem like any other route as far as repairs that make sense - to me.
