Front wheel bearings.

I tried to search best I could but how often are track guys replacing their wheel bearings? My car was purchased used and bought new front hub/bearing assembly with new bolts. On turns there’s audible clicking and over 90mph I get vibration so I figure I’d replace them.

Does the GTS have any different torque specs for the hub bolt? Online it says assembly and bolts are the same part as regular M4 so hopefully that’s correct lol thanks in advance!

Same as regular M4s. They are easy to replace yourself.

Every season, or once they've lost all their grease

While you're at it might as well get some pressed in wheel studs.

Those wheel studs require a modified OEM hub.

If he stays with the OEM hub he can get a free one every season through FCP. If he modifies it, does this still work?

14mm high quality studs don't break often, I have yet to break one after four years of tracking F8Xs on slicks. Of course replacing the studs every season. But I'm not seeing a huge upside of Core in a 14mm stud.
