Little update: Kyle called Dick back today. Basically, what Kyle told Dick was that DSE has chosen to use Moser's Torino Big Bearings because after trying just about everything, they found all of the setups, (short of anything like a full floater), to have flaws. However, Kyle seems to think that Moser's Torino Big Bearing setup is simple to maintain and reliably run, making it the least of the evils. He told Dick that before track days they pull the rear brakes on their test cars and put silicone around the bearings. It may seem like a bit of a band-aid solution, but they seem to think that all things considered, and compared to other options, the Torino bearings are the best, or least bad.

Dick didn't ask Kyle about tapered bearings though, and I'd like to get his opinion at some point. For now, I think I'm going to wait for Todd to beat the piss out of his car a little more and see how his setup holds up.

Matt
