Default Decent replacement wheel hubs up front?

G'Day all. Going to install the 4 piston CTSV brakes on my 99TA and replacing everything suspension-wise. I have been looking for some decent wheel hub assemblies but the only thing I can reallyt find out there is what shows up in autozone and advance auto. I did search on here for any companies that makes a good set but nadda. I know the assemblies on the fbodies are the best but mine are 13 years old now and going to do it anyways for preventative maintenance. If anyone has a link or info, I would greatly appreciate it. Cheers guys .

Mike

I hear ya but am going to be pushing the car to alot faster speeds. Car will easily capable of cracking 140+ traps by the end of the summer and didnt know if anyone if using something better if its out there. Plus the added brakes that were not originally designed for the car. There may not be that much of a difference but I would be willing to spend the money as long as the assemblys are reasonably priced.

check out frrax.com, those guys push the hubs to the limit. I remember something about the blue Timkins being the best, but cant remember how or where they get them.

That's what I ended up ordering. I did try to go to Timken's site to see if they had anything better. Saw "contact us for more info" for the better assemblies. I normally take that as in, these are rediculously EXPENSIVE!!!
