Renz, you may be able to answer this, if not, anyone else who may know.

I am almost certain that ZR2 s-series had upgraded or larger front wheel bearings. I am planning to do the Vette or CTS-V brake upgrade and I would like to know if these bearings are interchangeable with with standard 4wd bearings and thus compatable with the big brake kits.

I will be running 19x10's up front with some serious rubber and it seems I should have the beefiest wheel bearing possible.

Ideally, I would like to pick up a set of 98+ ZR2 knuckles with the dual piston set up because I have read the dual piston knuckle is more easily modified for the big brake kit.

Any thoughts?

To be clear, I do not alreay have a ZR2. I'm working on a 2nd gen non-ZR2 4x4 and would like to use ZR2 bearings along with big brake kit.

That is something that I would like to know as well. There are lots of ZR2's in the yards in Denver.

Sorry, but I challenge you. Multiple internet sources claim they have larger wheel bearings.
