What are the advantages of blueprinted hubs?
Curry's in Dulles
its a good alignment (assuming it holds....) just cost way too much
Hubs are a weak point on the miata (actually its the wheel bearings inside the hub, but the bearings themselves are not serviceable)
the grease seperates and drains out of the hub, which leaves the ball bearings to get royally fucked. Ive seen pictures of bearings that are completely flat on one side
The blueprinted hubs (at only $300!) are rebuilt using higher quality ball bearings, better seals, and most importantly Redline CR-V grease. THere havent been any reports of the blueprinted hubs failing (compared to as little as 2 weekends on new factory hubs) so I decided to just nip it in the bud and go straight to the good stuff.
