In one of the images it's stated that all that is required is a wheel bearing replacement.
Oh wow, it's an even more complex mod than I originally assumed..

I'm really having a hard time seeing the advantage to this intricate change, other than maybe regaining some bragging rights at Cars & Coffee, towards all the Porsche 911 dudes that made you feel insecure. 🙄
