    Bg wheelbearings are good for semis and tanks. Bf bearings are good for rollerskates and rc cars. You sure you wanna go that route?

          hubs won't just go into the uprights, you'll have to swap those as well and bolt spacing for lower strutmounts will have to be attended to. More trouble than it's worth. I have a 2 sets of Panasports left over from my GTX that i'd like to use on the pros but it ain't gonna happen...

            Wouldn't you need to deal with a different spline count?

              Yes. You'd need to make a set of hybrid axles. From my understanding the basic geometry is much different.
              The BF rear suspension is a totally different design as well, with the strut attaching to the trailing arm

              BF bearings suck. Not worth it for a bolt pattern swap
              Is there room to re-drill the stock hubs?

                I could chack the hubs although i doubt it. The only company i know making 15mm adapters wants 300 shipped Anybody know of cheaper 15mm 4x100-4x114.3 adapters?
