Lightened C4 hubs?
I'm coming from a C6 so excuse me if I'm a little ignorant, but does anyone sell a lightened rear C4 hub? I'm looking to adapt it to another setup, but stock rear C4 hubs are like tanks compared to a C5/C6. I want the u-joint coupling is why I'm looking at C4. Thanks.

you want to stick with the GM hubs.
the GM hubs last great as long as you don't get carried away with negative camber. That will destroy the bearings inside.
The aftermarket ones suck because the flange is a two piece welded design that will break under track conditions. They probably work fine for street applications as long as you don't put down too much torque.

Cool. The car puts out low-to-mid 300rwtq. Camber was no more than -1.5° max.
1. This is for autox application and I was looking to keep the weight down, but the hubs seem like beasts. Has anyone experimented with lightening it at all?
2. Where are good locations to pick up stock hubs? Or are they best straight out of the (GM) box?
