Wisefab track kit plus 114.3 hubs

Hi everyone,


I have a problem with the tiny front bearings on the FRS platform on my track car and the fact they're swaged rather than bolted together pisses me off. I also want to use 114.3 wheels.


I can assure you all the sti rear hub is a direct bolt on fit as long as you redrill your rear disc brakes, but the sti front is a bigger bearing with larger pcd on the bearing/upright mounting holes.


Now, I'm sure you've all heard of Wisefab and their lock kits for the front of the frs platform, well, they are now doing a track kit, so no big lock, just lightweight arms and uprights with corrected geometry for lowered cars. I'm sure there will be more in the kit and the price will be very reasonable compared to other brands.


I have asked Wisefab about the possibility of redesigning the front upright to suit the sti bearing or a bigger stronger bearing?. I would like to know, how many of you would possibly consider this as an upgrade for your car? If you don't do lots of track miles and don't have big brakes generating lots of heat, you won't need the bigger bearing , but you might want 114.3 pcd?


Thanks for your time..
