4wd products on eBay. Best value for money you will find.

I would use a set with koyo bearings, over unknown chinese/korean bearings.

I think I've got the $89 kit. I haven't had a chance to install it but the seals look a bit shitty and the bearings weren't the brands they were advertised to be.

4wd products kit from eBay I got was koyo bearings. I did bust the oil seal on the hub though as they were cheapos, replaced with koyo for like 5 bucks.

X2 on the koyo kit. I bought the cheap ebay kit and most seals and bearings didn't fit well. The wheel bearings kept coming loose too, replaced them with koyos and haven't had a problem since.
