Will the stock replacement parts wear out quickly if I engage in a little spirited weekend canyon carving from time to time?

Am I better off buying the racing parts in the first place because I'll eventually need them anyway, after the stockers fail after a fairly short amount of time?

Your opinion would be greatly appreciated on any pros and cons of either choice.

Thanks, Bart

Bart,

Thats a tough call. I went with the race hubs. Part of the reason was that the stock C5 hubs were not available. However the other part was because I felt my GTO could use the extra durability due to the extra weight as compared to a C5/C6. From what I understand the stock hubs have been known to fail from a single track day with street tires. The race hubs last a whole season on race cars with slicks. If it is in your budget, I don't know that you will go wrong with the race hubs. Just my opinion :-)
