Default METAL BEARINGS!

Dude everyone is right, this is like one of the best upgrades possible, my drive train is stock and my engine is too. I smoked a FULLY MODDED SKYLINE the only thing it was missing was the bearings , it was freakin awesome!

Default wide tracxks are good

wide track ones do make your car go straighterer and do slightly improve spped. I put bearings into my lith car, it just cut down noise and made it go straighter.

Next time get shielded bearings. They spin freer than non-cleaned RS bearings, and they are very low-maintence.

if you've been driving ur cars w/out bearings 4 a really long time you'll most likely find that the fit will be loose when putting them in, due to ware
