BCA bearings?

Does anyone know what $170 gets you at motorsports?
Is it worth it?

I looked up the bearings to find that the bca bearing is about $50. So is that just his price, or does it come with more? Seals? aftermarket lube? I'd like to get them from someone in the svx community, but not if it'll cost almost twice as much.

Thanks for reading.

if you can get them for 50 each then I would get them at that price. I paid about 62 each before I knew much about the forum parts community. Then had to add in the 4 seals @ somewhere around 10 each. and that doesn't count the fact that the BCA catalog lists the wrong seals (at least it did about a year ago, may still) and I had to find another supplier AFTER I had the hub apart.

the price at Motorsposts may be a bit high, but each region has it's own price points, and I've seen Dayle offer discounts to repeat customers (although I haven't been one myself - yet).

BCA Bearing

When I planned to replace my passenger side rear wheel bearing, and having heard many horror stories about the Subaru bearings, I bought a BCA bearing for $51.79 + shipping from RockAuto.com (BCA 516003) which came in a box with BCA Federal Mogul Bearings inscription. No seals are included. I just took out the bearing from my SVX, and compared the markings on the bearing itself. They are IDENTICAL, with one small difference.
The BCA bearing has NTN 4T-CRI-08A02.....JAPAN EN.., but the Subaru bearing (beaten up on the inner side) has the identical marking (NTN.....) except for JAPAN AN. I posted a question about the bearing origin, but has not gotten any answer. Hope this helps!
