anyone had any experience with these?

have found some on the net, but doesent mention anything about different sizes, cant seem to find much info on the net either? :?

i'm guessing they can't do a one size fits all bearing :shock:

Hutch has some experience with these...he posts on here as SONIC, you might want to drop him a line?

I have only ever heard good things about them!

As a note, it's my opinion that bearings are sized to the crank so buying a "set" of bearings might be useless since they might not provide the correct oil clearance

they have to be sized surely, even the stock ones have to be matched to relevent stamped numbers on the caps to get the correct oil clearence.

Clevite are the best bearing makers in the world ,closely followed by ACL calico coated bearings.
Mine turned up and they were brill,they are black in colour and feel very smooth indeed.
Try www.paradiseracing.com and ask LUIS if he will send you some calico race bearings for a 3sgte .

did you order the bearings to size mate or did you just get a set of bearings?

isn't standard a little hard to interpret as there's roughly 3 differnent sizes to standard? depends on the stock number stamp on the caps?
if yours have been fine though, i'm sure mine will, not gonna be runnin no where near the grunt you are tbh.

btw if you ever give away your four i'll have it ....haha :D

Trust me if your crank is standard size with no damage then he will send the right ones.If the crank has been ground then you will require a different size.
If i ever give my car away it is because i have won the euro lottery and then i would still keep it and ensure it is the fastest gt4 in the country. ;-)
