depends what shafts ya got, if ya using GTE shafts ya use GTE inners and Corsa outers, but ya have to machine the hubs to take the corsa bearings, or if ya got specific shafts for the job they should take corsa inners and outers

You should get new bearings for the hubs as you need them when you put the hubs in.... If your talking about wheel bearings.

cheers Lee, will probably use the machined hubs for a couple months (if they last that long) whilst saving for the propper stuff.

Don't drive hard with the machine hubs... I have heard they are pretty fragile. The bearings will go pretty quick also heard the differential can be damaged...

I have the machined hubs and they are fine, been fine since March, so what you hear is a different thing.

I've heard that when you machine material off of a part that has been to take a certain ammount of stress and then apply more stress to that part it is more likely to break. Hang on, thats a basic design principle...
