Hey all,

Seems like I will be refreshing my drivetrain & suspension for a coming track day.

Now, I just have a quick question as several 3rd party parts are available for R53..

OEM rear hubs are NOT very reasonably priced (Eh......... obvious?)

so I am looking to get a set of cheaper replacement..

I see ebay began selling 3rd party bearings and wanted to hear your quick opinion on those.

I do have replacement front bearings (OEMs) so I am looking to pick up a pair for the rear

If anybody have 1st hand exp. with ebay bearings / any other 3rd party products, please chip in your thoughts!

Thanks in advance

 

We stock brand new ones:

Or if you want to save more, we have good used ones from some of our wrecked MINIs we are parting out:

I got a Timken rear hub bearing for ~$130 recently at partsgeek.com.

Timken is very good quality. Don't get no-name cheap wheel bearings, they fail quickly.
