I have not really followed up on these aftermarket hubs. Not sure why they would be 'more' performance then OEMs? It is the durability of bearings, or? I do see that the studs are longer, but still can't justify the prices compared to some stock s14s.

As for pricing -

Rear hubs with front spindles/hubs = $400
Rear hubs with front spindles/hubs/lca = $450
Rear hubs/rotors with front spindles/hubs/lca/rotors = $500

and the "peak performance" ones the enjuku cars run are about 549$ and look like this.

the street ones, which is all youd ever need are 349$ and look like this.

the 549 ones are stronger, and have long wheel studs. but not worth it really, unless its a full race car.
they arent really "performance" hubs, they just make 5 lug swap easier since you dont have to change the ball joints, and spindles.

It's just too much money for them, at least it is for me. Even brand new OEM S14 parts are still very pricy, even at cost! There are more and more 4 lug staggered rims that I'd be on the look out for some nice 4 lugged rims and put that money that I would into a 5 lug conversion into them.
