They fit in factory positions with no modification, even though the shells are narrowed to clear an aftermarket radius. The pdf I sent earlier has all the unique bearing enhancements we made.

Thanks for reaching out!

That's a great plan to hurry up and get some because only 400 sets were made. I talked to King and they said they studied the market before the manufacturing took place and thought this would be a good place to start. SO they sent they order to production. Mean while the FA20 market exploded and everyone has started building their cars. Which in the last 6 months it's been crazy how many high HP Fa20s have came on to the scene.
The bearings came back from production and sold out instantly, all the distributors sucked them up knowing they would have no issues unloading them. So King has decided to start another production run at the first of the year.
In my opinion by March the supply should be back to a normal state with easy access to the K.B. Bearings, if you want them sooner you better order now and be one of the first 400.... Good Luck everyone


In closing I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas..... I hope Santa brings you a set of the most advanced high performance FA20 bearings in the world to you garage


And for those who didn't get a set, I will be updating this thread with news on production and availability.

UPDATE

UPDATE
here are some pics of the new FA20 Bearings
I must admit I am a little Awe struck comparing these to stock bearings. I am in the middle of a new build so I will update everyone soon with the results
