Default Wheel bearings and suspension upgrades

While gathering new suspension parts etc I thought it might be a good idea to get a set of new wheel bearings too shipped over in the container.

Which ones/brand do you guys recommend buying?

Other things wise to replace if I want it "as new" under the car?

So far I have bought FX-3 shocks, SuperPro bushings and Spicer u-joints (incoming) as well as recently installed a new composite leaf spring from Vette Brakes. A Dewitts pro series radiator is also in place now.

New 18" wheels are being built as we speak and the plan is to get a "new" car handling wise next season.

Any advice and input is appreciated.IMG_20220601_154049_601.jpg

If you do wheel bearings then do the U Joints

Try for SKF wheel bearings if you can get them.

Always a great choice! I only use SKF for my Audis.
