      I personally do not like the Vette bearing assembly. Don't get me wrong, the "heavy duty" versions are great. But it's $350 per bearing compared to $20. So long as you can set them up properly there's no need for the Vette parts.

      The Vette bearing assembly was designed for the production line. The OE's needed a bearing package they can bolt on. . .no adjustment required.
      So they came up with this unit. Preset from the manufacturer, and have the ABS parts to boot.

      ALL Valid points, but to date, We have not had anyone call to say they have worn out the bearing packs, I have not read on any forum of anyone replacing the hubs,
      I have talked to a couple race driver training companies that use corvettes and they say they don't replace the hubs( except for the rears on the Z06 at Spring Mountain) and I have heard through the grapevine that DSE has not had any failures on their Test Cars either??? can not confirm this.
