Glad to hear that you got the dance corrected.

I bought them all on Ebay. The fronts were from hub-unit-man for $98 plus shipping of $12.50. The rears were from rlalone1544 for $76.45 plus a few bucks in shipping. The rears look exactly like factory and the fronts are EXTREMELY close. Both fit fine and feel great. The cheapest I could find the bearing through normal online shops (Pep-Boys, AutoZone, etc) was $158 front and $240 rear. Both guys had very good feedback, shipped quickly, and offered 100% warranty. I figured for as inexpensive as they were I could not go wrong.

So the Ebay sheet is up to: the car itself, black a-molds, cross-drilled slotted rotors, ram-air, Corsa exhaust, Hooker shorties, Hurst ****, glass top, head and tail light covers, bearings, KYB shocks, 3 piece spoiler, driver door glove box lid, and sun visors. Truly an Ebay car.

I am off to Deal's Gap. Talk to you guys on Friday@!!!!!

If I am correct, the rear ABS reluctor ring is on the drive spindle not the bearing assembly, so you don't have to worry about having the wrong bearings for ABS/ASR.

But, if I am correct, the front reluctor ring (teeth) for the ABS is part of the bearing assembly. So, if you use the wrong front bearings, the ABS may not function.
