Case in point... AvidRC bearings are $1 each. The Ceramics are $5 each. Boca Greens are $5 each, and the super sweet Orange Ceramics are $19! But really, in my diff's... those aren't really a clean or dirty environment. $19 would be overkill. In fact, I'm not sure if a specific type of bearing is best suited in a diff compared to say a hub?
Thanks!

for the record we have:
$0.99 cent bearing sold individually
http://www.bocabearings.com/webstore...aspx?StoreID=1
and $0.99 cent bearings in Ten Packs
http://www.bocabearings.com/bearing-...-cent-bearings
we would consider those comparable to stock bearings.
you can also get:
Ceramic Yellow Seal Bearings for on average $4 - $6 each if you buy them in 10 packs or 4 packs
http://www.bocabearings.com/bearing-...ng-yellow-seal
http://www.bocabearings.com/bearing-...ng-yellow-seal
Ceramic Orange Seal Bearings for on average of $4-$8 each in 4 packs and 10 packs
http://www.bocabearings.com/bearing-...ng-orange-seal
http://www.bocabearings.com/appsubgr...SubGroupID=574
But we would probably suggest to you the Green Seal bearings for your diff. Th Green Seal bearings are a solid bearing that can stand up to abuse and is a workhorse. They may not be the fastest bearing on the market but they are strong and long lasting:
