Oem or acl bearing

I'm working on my b18b trying to figure what are the best bearings to use.

People will come on here to promote both. Both can work. I'm an OEM person, but you'll have advocates for ACL as well. So, this "poll" really won't help with your decision.

Measure them. But usually the ACl's are in the "green" range of honda's Oem bearings. Then you can get the "X" acl's that gives you .001" more clearance than the std's.
