Default Looking for aftermarket HP bearings and suspension parts

I have a 93 Accord LX stationwagon. 298,000 miles on it
I use my vehicle to deliver mail.
i constantly have to replace tires and brakes. because of my bearings.
the constant braking and heat makes the bearings wear out prematurely.
so in order to combat that i am looking for a aftermarket high performance bearing. but i cannot find any for this make and model. can someone help

I also heard about a suspension swap with some acura parts that will make the suspension better.
Has anyone heard about this?

I rebuilt the entire brakes/suspension on my 1994, and I never ran across HP bearings. Stock OEM Honda bearings are pretty heavy duty.

Why not try replacing the ROTORS with aftermarket slotted performance rotors? The slots dissipate the heat, the reason they are used for racing applications. Much cooler running rotors would transmit much less frictional heat to the bearings.

Stay away from DRILLED rotors if you are carrying heavy loads (mail). You may have sheer-failure through the holes. Go with slotted.

I would run some slotted rotors (all over the net). If you have rear drums, you probably need to swap out to a rear rotor setup (check this site). Research which type pads create less heat (probably OEM ceramic) to run with the rotors. Then flush the fluid out and run top of the line synthetic fluid. I bet this will solve the problem. Wrenchy
