£220 is excessive, but I wouldn't go too too cheap. We had a discussion about this a while ago. The hub part themselves and studs are all much the same between them and the cheapest would probably suffice, but it's the bearings that dictate the majority of the asking price and that won't necessarily last that long if you go cheap as chips.

So which ones would you guys suggest or what is a reasonable price to go with?

I bought two for £174.60 (So £87.30 each). I wouldn't feel comfortable paying much less than £75 each (Unless they had been reduced of course

).

Try and get one that is from a known decent manufacturer if you can, rather than a generic unbranded/unheard of name one.

Roak Auto do a value pro for £19

which i would not touch, but they also have Raybestos at £40, Moog/National at £45 upto SKF at £68.

Has anyone ordered from them before? I've never used them are they based in the uk and import parts over from the states?

Yes, I had some stuff off them about three weeks ago. Some stuff is sent from the UK, and some from USA, you can tell which by looking at the part on the site; my stuff came from the USA, it arrived in 9 days.

Replaced both rear wheel bearings! All fixed! Can't believe how much better the car feels now!
