Hi Guys, I am going to replace the rear wheel bearings on my 2004 facelift roadster, and there seems to be a large discrepancy in the prices quoted for various makes I have the impression that there are cheap Chinese made bearings to be avoided, I think these may include Blueprint and Fahren. Am I correct? I want to "Fit and forget" My inclination is to fit Toyota, but the difference in price is 35/93 approx. When doing the front a couple of years ago I used Koyo, which I am happy with, but I cannot seem to access this brand as a private customer, Any comments greatly appreciated, Harry

I would ring TCB parts and have a chat about what they offer. I thought I remembered a few options when I ordered some a few years ago.  They do know about their stock though unlike most other sellers I expect!
There is a delivery charge but order in the morning and its usually delivered the next day.

I've had a wee look. In terms of a respected brand, I found this.

According to the listing the MR2 rears fit the FWD cars fronts,- might be handy to know.
