RX8 Rear Hub Conversion for an MX5 / Miata NC1, NC2 and NC3

It is well documented that the standard MX5 NC rear wheel bearings are prone to failure when traction is increased through using wider and stickier track-focused tyres which if happens, can be catastrophic.

The simplest and most cost-effective fix is to swap your MX5 rear hubs and drive shafts for RX8 items whilst performing the RX8 differential swap upgrade. Other options exist on the market from Mazda Motorsports and some independents in the USA but nothing exists over here in the UK. Importing these upgraded solutions becomes cost-prohibitive once you've paid import taxes and shipping rates and are often out of reach of the track day enthusiast or club-level racer.
