Someday they'll need to be replaced and switching to stickier rubber will make that happen sooner. Here are a few thoughts and links on the subject: - Rob Robinette has an excellent how-to article on his site: http://robrobinette.com/S2000Bearing.htm - Coating them might help: http://www.wpctreatment.com/ or http://www.microblueracing.com/ - Advance Auto Parts has some for $55 with a $15% discount - are they any good? - Timken vs. Beck/Arnley vs. OEM bearings? - Research: OEM bearings are NSK, $55.51 from HPD or ~49 from other internet sites. Other good wheel bearing mnftrs=SFK, FAG (german), Koyo, and Timken. Apparently Timken sources parts from various locations and quality may vary. - Cheap source for Timken: http://www.speedycarparts.com/sku/Honda_S2000_Timken_Wheel-Bearing_2000_2009_TM510050.html - Amazon has Timken, good source for NSK (OEM): http://www.partsgeek.com/mmparts/wheel_bearing/honda/s2000.html |
