I'm always jubious paying extremely cheap prices for wear and tear parts though, but also I got no where with your guys either. They still haven't tried contacting me back

I'll give them a heads up as that's not normal customer service from them fella.

I bought my 5-stud one about 7-8 months ago on eBay after seeing some recommendations. Cost me £75 and I was well chuffed. The build quality looks OEM, although you obviously can't tell the grade of steel or how well manufactured they are but several people recommended them so I was happy with it. Will try and buy another of them so I can replace the otherside soon as well.

The cheapest assemblies I could see on eBay were a few pence more than the ones I've gone for.

From this country newkid

I'm sure I could find some for £20 each if I tried hard enough, but I wouldn't feel comfortable fitting them to my car

Was a post you put up that made me look, least I think it was you bud. That 4 stud and 5 stud rear bearings are a straight swap. I then stumbled across these as I'd need 2 to do the swap. Figured cause I wouldnt be in a major rush and these include all customs etc that they might be worth posting for others to.

At that price I might even give it a punt actually. Thing is, unless you a buying OEM you don't really know how well the item is made, regardless of whether it is £20 or £90. They might both be the same part and the UK sellers are pocketing the rest...

It's the actual bearing's that hike the prices up as aposed to the housing, and generally with bearings you get what you pay for.
