Only posible con i could think of is when i converted their were no hub bearing spacers available at the time. This may have been resolved by now. I have never looked into it since.
When did bearing spacers become a thing? I know they are now, but I've never used them.
Not sure ive been running them for about 6-7 years not sure how much they really help.i haven't seen any actual test results but the theory makes sense in my head lol i like them for maintenance. Not that setting preload is complicated or anything. And thus may sound stupid but on the track when rolling around during hot laps the car seems to roll freeier after rolling out of the throttle mid corner when their is alot of side load
i never used them either , and have a new set in the box , just never could get it in my head how it could help a tapered bearing , to me , spend the money on low drag bearings .

how can it hurt a tapered bearing every rearend in pass cars and trucks have crush sleeve or pinion shims???
heck of a lot of difference in load on a pinion than on a hub , plus holding the alignment of the pinion and ring gear meshing is critical to life of gear , also im not saying it could hurt a tapered brg , but just never saw the benefit of it...
