What wheel hub for 2002 mini cooper s

Need front wheel hubs, would like some links if people have them. I've seen as high as $200 each and as low as $50 for 2. Also are the base and s models the same hub?

If you're not looking for OEM parts/prices, research Detroit Axle. I've purchased front hubs from them, been very satisfied with their products, and they're reasonably priced.

Detroit axle was what i ended up finding. 2 pack on amazon for $60 or 1 for $54 from their website. Thanks for the info and vote of confidence.

That's good information. If I'd had more time, that's what I would have used.
Naturally I'd be nervous about quality & durability - how long have you had them for?

@MVPeters ... I've had the Detroit Axle (DA) front hubs on my MC40 for three months with absolutely no issues. Of course, that's not a lot of time but at $54/each I could replace them annually and still not damage my wallet. Considering how easy they are to change out (discounting any issues), I'm not currently seeing a compelling reason to spend more. As I mentioned in other posts, DA is an ISO-certified manufacturer and that's a purchase factor for me. I'll certainly broadcast to the forum if I have any issues with quality or longevity.
