For those interested, i only ended up paying $120 for the front bearings, the brand is Koyo. The CBC sales dude was very helpful and explained how CBC go about their bearings. CBC also sell the Chinese made bearings for a lot cheaper, but they have had a few instances where they have failed. He did say over time, the Chinese made bearings will eventually be just as good in most applications.

exactly the same as i payed. add to that $60 for fitting and i was done
I'm interested in what the part numbers are of the bearings (KOYO) that you got, I just got given the wrong bearings from Bursons, would be much easier to get the right ones with a part number, seals part number also would be handy.

Koyo are fine and so are SKF and NTN and years ago you even got a bearing company called FAG(always a joke about that brand at my work). I work in industry and like everybody says there are different quality bearings but it also depends on your application of it. Haven't you guys already found that with uni joints as I have already discovered, I put 2 of a cheap "endurance" brand in a few years ago in the Eterna, and one shit itself in two years. Greased it till the grease oozed out but one cup got none. the better quality hardy spicer is fine and the hardy spicers on the MG have done over 120,000km with no issues.
Here you go:
MC 112A - Front
MC 235 - Rear
fronts include the seals. You can also just call CBC with part numbers already quoted in this thread.

yes as per your request, i gave you CBC part numbers for their kit, which will contain Koyo bearings and seals. I don't have the actual koyo numbers for each bearing and seal.

I have Evo 7 rear hubs here which fit on my Evo's drive shafts. So I'm saying that they will.

Thanks for the part numbers mate.yeeehah said:
I need to replace my front bearings too.
Rang CBC today. They quoted me on Front Bearing~MC 112A at $149+ ea. (seals incl'd) Rears~MC 235 at $96+ ea. (seals incl.) ....to me that seems steep
I rang SKF bearings after that. They quoted me for the Front~AB6695 at $75+ ea. (Didn't get the rear sorry) But these are a GMB branded bearing. I asked him about the quality level as a comparison with their own SKF brand. He said that these are decent enough for my application and reassured me that they weren't crap, even for that price.
Has anybody else recently bought new bearings? (since this thread was started) If so, what price/ brand did you go with? Just curious, cheers
