Fourth Gen Camaro Front Hubs

[Pranav]

Jim,

Not doubting that the cost of your setup is worth it, my concern is if we try to push a clarification or RCR, that cost level may not sit well with the others in CMC; as such I'm just wondering if taking that setup and ditching the expensive $380-440 SKF race bearing for a regular $130-150 OE-equivalent Corvette bearing would suffice for CMC's purposes. We may get a little more pad knockback and less life, but that puts us back into the range of what the Ford guys are getting.

How are the C5/C6 guys holding up with their regular front bearings?

Also as an alternative if more people try the DIY 3rd-gen based setup, that would be great also.

This was why I put that $400 limit under section E of my RCR, although I'm unsure how we can prove the 3rd gen setup's cost since it involves used parts.

Again, not trying to stir the pot, I am new to the class but would also like to get us away from using these crappy deathtrap bearings.
