So, it seems front wheel bearings wear at about the same rate as brake pads when you have a bit of power and 225 R specs.

What is the upgrade path from the standard wheel bearings?

Brake ducts to help keep heat in the hubs down. Repack with good quality grease and matched diameter bearings.

Brake ducts, done. Wilwood 6 pots, done. Polymatrix H compound pads, done. Driver ability/training to do less braking, not done.

Flyin' Miata do a "blueprinted" version of standard hubs at less money than an OEM one, but still with ball bearings, so I'm not too hopeful of a solution there.

So I may need to go with the roller bearing ones, even though there's a suggestion they are still in development mode.

Here's hoping.

Terry Bosnjak makes billet ones for mx5's using tapered roller bearings. Can't rate him and his work high enough. http://www.terrybosnjakengineering.com.au/billett-hubs

They're serious race parts and not cheap though. I was fed up by about the 8th front hubs failure....so I have a set on my car.

Thank Hellmun.

Sent you a PM Dave...

Is this for all models?
