You use ARP 625s (201-6001) or some other of their aloy?

Apologies for all questions, maybe missed some answers in your thread.

Cheers

I have not seen an OEM bearing come out without any wear. We haven't pulled many WPC's out, but with those we saw significantly less wear which is very promising considering similar mileage cars showing plenty more wear. Yes the custom age ARP 625 is what we use for hardware. No problem with the questions! Any information we can provide to help the community is the goal we all have as e9x enthusiasts.
