    Good points. As I stated in the OP I don’t want to be a test pilot for this kind of parts. LN sure has good reputation and can provide a lot of statistics of their products. There is sure worth in that. Maybe time will tell if competitors can show some similar success records.

    I understand that. However, if it is only patented in the US it can be copied and sold anywhere but in the US. That’s the reality of patents. This thread was meant to find out if anyone had any experience with the Guldenberg IMS product. I guess no one had, so my question is somewhat answered. But the question regarding the legality of Guldenberg or any future similar products is still unanswered. It may not be in Raby’s interest to clear things out as it must be hard seeing your work blatantly copied and he needs to protect his own interests. But for all of the 996/Boxster owners that need an IMS-bearing other solutions are welcome, especially if they can compete in pricing. Then it is up to everyone to decide if you want to pay more to support the inventors or not. As long as a product is not illegal, i mean it is a choice not to patent a product in every country (most likely a very expensive choice), it is a real world option for Porsche owners and at least I will consider it. So if anyone could shine some light on the legal situation it would be welcome. Edit: I asked the manufacturer of Guldenberg who said it is a legal product. IMS solution is patented only in the US. So I have answered my questions. Maybe someone else will find the info interesting or useful.

    Tried that as well, no hits. Would be great to know if there is an infingement or not with this product. Don’t want to support any illegal copies.

    Ok, I searched the dutch patent Office as well as the European Patent Office and couldn’t find any patents at all for Raby or IMS Solution. So I guess limit the sales means that it won’t reach the US?
  5. Citgot
    Well, only if Raby has patent in the EU. Maybe he has, but can’t find any info about it.

    Here in Europe LN Engineering’s products are really pricey to say the least. Not many consider the IMS solution as it is considered way overpriced compared to other ordinary bearings. But now I stumbled upon this product in a dutch website that looks like another permanent IMS fix. Has anyone heard about it? Any thoughts? I don’t want to be a test pilot for important engine parts but this is at half the price to IMS Solution. Sounds strange that it isn’t more well known if it offers the same fix at a lower cost. http://shop.guldenbergracing.nl/996/ims-lager/guldenberg-hydrostatic-ims-bearing
