I just contacted CSG and they said there aren't any high performance wheel bearings for our cars on the market but the OEM system is pretty good. Not sure why I've seen a few wear out so quickly

Do you know the OBDII PID for it?



Ahh, I know there are issues with the 2013-2014 engines, but I wasn't sure exactly what it was. I didn't tear it down, had it repaired under warranty

I track my car and have had a history of rod bearing failure. I have been considering overfilling my oil level slightly to ensure that the oil pickup always has a good supply.

Does anyone do...

Ferodo DS2500 pads wore out very quickly

Pat I just realized that I misread the units on Ferodo's chart. It starts fading after 600 C not F. So it definitely has a better curve than the Winmax (can't find a chart for the G-LOC).
