using noname aftermarket bearings?
I have gone thru Timkin, GM, SKF , junkyard bearings all pretty quickly. So, for the money, I was thinking of buying a noname bearing from these guys.
Has anyone who races a C4 used these? I don't care about how fast they fail because my car breaks them no matter what. I only want to know if they have broken apart while racing or just started loosening up like the rest of the C4 bearings do when pushed laterally as in Axing.

I haven't used those specific ones, but I use cheap aftermarket ones from MAC auto. Same story as you - tried the fancy name brand ones and they still lasted 3 races or less. They wear out just like any other one I've tried, no catastrophic failures yet. C4's just eat them up.
However, I do know of a guy who had both fronts fail in the same weekend. I don't know what brand he was using, though. Forgot to ask when I gave him my spares.
