I think these are mine. I received them today. They are a nice looking piece. They will be on my A Sedan F-bird at Hallett in two weeks. John has been a great guy to work with.

Nice looking parts. Does the plating offer any corrosion resistance?

Yes, it is supposed to. Nickel is one of the base materials used before the chrome in the chrome plating process is applied. Chrome itself looks like layers of cornflakes, and is not a continuous surface. It is the material under the chrome that adds the corrosion protection and nickel is one of them. This coating is an electroless nickel plating which provides corrosion protection and a hard surface that wears well. The advantage of this process over electro plating is that you can get a very even coating thickness, even inside holes and around sharp corners. With electro plating, it is very difficult to get adequate plating around the sharp corners or inside holes. The plating thickness on our parts is about 4 ten-thousandths of an inch (0.0004).

aren't stock studs 10mm ?
What is the impact of going w/ 12mm or 1/2"-20 ?
Do I simply need new lugnuts or more ?

Gotta butt in here... stock studs are 12mm, and 1/2 inch (Ford) studs are just a bit bigger. If you choose the 1/2' ones, the bigger nuts may not clear certain wheel cavities enough to use an impact socket on them. Ask me how I know

I requested the 1/2" studs to match my 9" rear end studs to avoid any "crew" errors. 12mm are standard.

Excellent thanks for the info.

can't wait to see mine in person and see how they perform this year !
was contemplating 3 options:
- these
- SKF race vette hubs + adapter
- similar solution w/o ABS
I don't care about ABS... not in car anymore
This product looks of much greater quality compared to the other alternatives... we'll see.
The SKF aren't rebuildable either.

Received mine. Impressive. Hopefully will get to thoroughly thrash them this year.

Any updates or information from people that have used these hubs?
How are they holding up?

I've run two weekends plus one test day in A Sedan and they are holding up great. Still feel very tight.
I'm very impressed with them so far.

Any update from anyone on these hubs? Just replaced 8 hub bearings in the last 1000 or so miles...3 of them in the last 100 miles. Was considering lighting the car on fire until I joined this forum and found this thread...Are these hub bearings the answer to my prayers? Someone please tell me yes!

Some people have had a good majority of the year on them, I hope they can chime in with results or thoughts!

In for some updates here as well. Just killed a stock repacement after 3 autox events.

With what these cost (and they appear to be worth it) I imagine if there were failures, we'd definitely be hearing about it. No news may be good news in this case.

Looking for some reviews after about a year of production/usage of these hubs? I recently killed 3 hubs over the NJ Pro weekend. I killed 2 Brand New Hubs in (4) 30 second Pro Solo runs on fresh A7's. So I very interested in buying these in order to start finalizing my car.

Any Updates? Interested in a set. Was wondering what anyone thought about these + the Wilwood BBK that Sam Strano is selling. Sounds like there might be a bracket clearance issue with the ID of the bracket?
From Hoosiers website - "The housing is larger and extends deeper on the inside of the spindle, so there may be a clearance issue with the inside diameter of the track bracket mounting plate when for Corvette brakes."
Should I just go with some SKF 'vette bearings? Really interested in these new ones though...
-EDIT- Well silly me, but I only just realized that Sam sells the hubs too, so I sent him an email.

I would call Sam as he sell both the bearing kit and the brake kit. If anyone knows it is him.
I personally have the adapters, but Hoosier was not ready to ship when I was looking.

Keep in mind HPE may not always offer parts for these hubs. Since 90% of the components are custom machined pieces, this may become a problem for you to rebuild them.
