I bought these for my car and the fit and work perfectly. Car has 375hp too and the hold up fine. I mean they are using a OEM bearing anyway so they should be fine.

Ichiba is overrated, a lot of people end up having to press in OEM bearing into Ichiba hubs anyway.

But if your worried about it then just get some S14 hubs and front LCA's

i wouldn't risk it man, not unless you research more.

Hubs/wheel mounting stuff is NOT something to cheap out on

^ Okay, great job being funny.

Now either tell us your a fucking idiot who hasn't tried the hubs, or else tell us why they fit like fuck.

Not my daily but the car see nothing but abuse. Held fine even with huge hoosier slicks on them with burn out and high speed runs, no problems at all.
And they fit perfect, getting my old 4 lug hubs out was way harder then putting these hubs in. Bolted right up

I use these exact ones and they are great. I used them for 7 months or so with no issues with daily driving. I would still be using them, but the car is parked for winter. I say go for it.


BTW OP: I love Boca!

Ebay bearings are hit and miss.... you take a risk. My fronts have been good for about 9k and counting. I will be going OEM next time.
