Default Bearing upgrade? Harland Sharp, Comp, or other?

Comp's price is about half of Harland Sharp. Is HS that much better? Any problems using the Comp pieces?

i used the Comp kit and have had 0 issues. the comp kit early on had some issues with the bolts they supplied not being the right length, but have since fixed the problem. They are virtually the same, but i believe that the HS kit has washers then the snap rings outside the bearing where as comp just has the snap rings with no washers. I dont see the washers having any advantage over just running the snap rings. Hope this helps

The Comp kit is great and very easy to install; zero problems here too... Go for it.

dude honestly if your going to be doing that, i would just get a set of scorpion rockers, they're really affordable and make an additional 15-20 hp, not bad for the money

But they always break sooner-or-later.

If I was to change rockers I would go with Comp ultra magnum rockers.

Except the only ratio they have is 1.8.
