So our 8 3/4 is in the market for a new set of wheel bearings. I am seeing I now have three options for bearings. Anyways it Looks like the car is on a set of factory tapered set of wheel bearings. The car is going to be used for road racing.
So options look to be a factory set of tapered bearings or a set of green bearings.

I understand the work need to pack and seal up the factory style. However being tapered they should last longer in the cornering applications that we are going to throw at it. The green bearings look like they are not tapered at all and therefore will have a harder time taking the g-forces of hard cornering. Don't want to be doing this all the time so wanting the reliability factor.
I am leaning towards the factory style but what do you guys say. Any reason to convert to the green bearing style, or should I just order the tapered set and call it a day.
