I bought the SSBC rear disc kit and for whatever reason they mandated the ball berring type and not the tapered type.

Would this be for some clearance issue on the axles maybe??



Rigid calipers don't like any axle end play, the rotors need to stay in the same relative in/out position that's why many brake kits require the Greens.

I still believe there's no reason why the factory taper bearings can't be adjusted for a little preload on the bearings instead of the mandated few thousands end play...tapered front wheel bearings tolerate preload, why not the rears?
