Thoughts?  
Stuff I’ve read:  
-they come with shitty OEM bearings?  
-people don’t install them properly and assume it’s shitty bearings?

or any other conversion hubs like Attain or Peak Performance .  
Did Varun and Bing also have conversion hubs ? Anyone use them?

Go to Toronto jdm. Get front and rear with the big calipers and spindles and bearing for 500$ and forget about it.

go with OEM if possible. When people say they come with shitty OEM bearings those are people you should never listen to. OEM stuff is better than china aftermarket stuff for quality.

i had to warranty a few sets of bearings, some were Ichiba, some were generic which is probably the same as Ichiba.

as a result, i stopped messing with them entirely like 4 years ago.

i ran Attain in my car for 4+ years without issue. Attains were $500 per pair… just for reference.
