ceramic bearings
« on: October 13, 2017, 07:24:39 AM »
Have purchased ceramic bearings for front wheels. No way to compare since no runs on old bearings. I have been told by cpl they are worth .02 in ABA test. Would like rear end ceramics also,not happening anytime soon.I thnk cost around 1500 for all. Wondering  if anyone has tested difference or knows how much et they are worth.
 
Watching video of rear spinning free.I can believe its worth 3 or 4 times what front ones are.

I thought you were going bracket racing. Save the money change the dial.

Is bracket car,owner,driver,tuner is still going to get every .001 out of car possible. My heads up ,flat out max power heart is only going bracket because my flat bank account can not spend the 100k plus a year I use to for TA/D much less the half mill it takes to be competitive now days.
