I am going to build a front end (suspension) using the spare subframe and suspension bits that I have.
As I am going to build up the hubs with new bits I thought I would start looking into wheel bearings and whether there are good and bad ones.
I think the general internet opinion are SKF (VKBA 1452) or Timkin are the best, although from what I have read the SKF kit has the Timkin bearing in anyway.
While they are reported as being some of the best you can get, they are £60 - £100 each.

So my questions are
Does anyone use SKF/Timkin bearings over the generic e-bay ones?
Does anyone know where I can get them at a good price?
If I use e-bay Trupart bearings or similar I can buy 4 wheel bearing kits for the price of 1 SKF kit.
I know most of you will be on the side of just buy the Trupart type, but is there anyone out there who likes fitting quality stuff and can tell me the benifits? Are the SKF tapered rollers as opposed to Trupart being standard?
