So here is a real question. I see the aftermarket suspension stuff is still using the standard wheel bearing setup but all the new sports cars (pretty sure all new cars but I haven't looked at every make model out there) have a sealed hub design. So which is better?
You see that RMS uses the standard wheel bearing setup we are use to (though it is based on the Mustang II setup, standard for a few decades)

But this company, the Roadster Shop, has a suspension setup that uses Hubs instead (same setup used in the cars that race in the 24 Hours of LeMans) that are based off the C6 Vette, which has a bigger brake options because it uses a Hub.

Now I'm not knocking either, I just wanna know which is a better setup. The standard wheel bearing setup or the hub setup (I might not be using the correct terms here but I'm not sure what the correct terms are)?
Any help would be great guys and gals!:burnout:
