Ceramic bearings

[Welshy40]

Where can i get ceramic thrust race and ceramic bearings for the 511?

I am going to be testing some B-Fast stuff soon. They offer alternative diff and thrust race ball kits.

Lots of aftermarket bearing companies out there like ABEC35, BOCA, ACER,

As part of a test for the magazine?

I too am looking for bearings, but more for spares. Completely forgot about b-fast, will have a look at their website again.

B-Fast are kindly sending some samples over for featuring in the new products section, but I have heard good things about them so will be fitting them into my cars to test...

Just ask a Schumacher driver they'll be able to point you in the right direction.

I've been using BOCA Yellow Seal Ceramic bearings in my DB-01 for years now. Best bearings ever.. Sealed and lubed for life - dirt can never enter the bearing and they never need cleaning. Worth every penny for a full kit.. The bearing kits they listed online did not have the right combination of bearings for my DB-01 build. I specified my own bearings and they made a custom kit for my DB-01 and offered a small discount.

I would avoid ACER bearings personally. You can never find detailed specs on their bearing technology, so you don't really know what you are paying for... I guess they hope their sexy models will distract you from caring about their bearing specs... Sorry ACER, no dice.. No specs, no sale...

I bought JAAD Racing ceramic thrust bearings and balls for my diffs. Also excellent quality, although I don't think JAAD Racing is still in business though?? Their products are still listed on www.racingfactory.fi as a purchasable part: http://www.racingfactory.fi/products...Bearing-101700
so maybe they are still being made, or they have overstock..

Hope this helps.
