Default Help with rear wheel bearing / hub assembly

I need to replace my rear wheel hubs on a 2009 Z06, I know that Zr1 hubs are the way to go but as I look at the part on GMParts Direct There are several choices they are marked from FE1 to FE5 does anyone know which is the correct part to order?

FE5 is the ZR1 hub.

They are all zr1 hubs, I need to understand which one works on the z06 or are you saying the hubs listed as fe1 to fe4 as zr1 are not?

If you want a ZR1 hub, FE5 is the correct one. FE1, FE3 are NOT ZR1. The FE5 ZR1 hub will fit your 09 Z06.

The FE5/ZR1 hub from GM is a SKF hub.

The SKF branded hubs do not work on 09 cars.

Yea that's interesting I tried to install a set on my 09 two weeks ago it was a disaster. The traction control went berserk evidently GM changed the sensors between 08 and 09 , I have seen this documented in many places once I started looking for information.
