Default Got question about metal bearing!

Hi I am new to Xmods. I just got my Xmods Skyline last week and was wondering what does the metal bearing do for your cars? What does it improve?
Also what do you guy think if I paint my skyline in pink and cf hood?

Thank you

Default bearings

bearings help to allow your car to move smoother and all your parts to work better!!!!!............but it also increases weight...........i was going to paint my skyline pink i think that would look hot!!!!!!

bearing help straighten ur cars steering of, what i mean is it will decrease wheel wobble
i don't think the weight would be an issue there like an 1/8 of an ounce or something really light anyway
they also usually make ur car quieter

i have bearings and they decrease a lot of things like tire wobble friction to the wheels and drive shaft and stuff that people sometimes have problems with.

metal bearings are the best upgrade. e\reduce wheel wobble, reduce friction, increase speed, enlarge life of car, lots more. First and best upgrade to get. Yes I belive a car can beat a ful uprade car that doesn't have bearings, if you have bearings.

agreed
Bearings should be the 1st thing u get but most peepz new to xmods don't know that so
for anyone who reads this and know someone who is goin to get an xmod do them a favor and tell them to hold out untill they can also afford the $10-$20 it costs to get bearings
yes it is possible to get bearings for as low as $10 abviously not at RS

Default story time

i went in RS and my dad wanted to come with me, so he did.
i left my wallet at home and i didnt have any money on me so i asked him to buy me a set of RS bearings.....
he got so ****ed because they were 20 bucks for 14.
so being the "ebay king" i went on ebay and found me a nice deal from VXB for 14 metal bearings for 4.95 a set so i had 3 cars that didnt have the bearing upgrade so i bought 3 whole sets and got them in three days.

this is the conclusion of story time by livestrong350z aka the ebay king
