$80 AUD? For all 4 corners?

So inner and outer front bearings? On both sides?
Both rear bearings with retainers?

If you can get them all for $80 AUD with maybe the front seals, I might be interested in a full set!

Just to be clear.... See pics below

Rears with Retainers:

just shocked at that fact that they cost so much in europe

Hah! Never thought you were, but I'd be totally interested in a cheap source of bearings. Usually front and rear full bearing sets will cost in the range of $150-200 USD. $80 AUD = even with shipping!

Just doble check because:
They are different from FWD ones, also different from SR5 ones. GTS rear bearings aer ~40mm wide, SR5 - half.

Sounds about right to me. The front bearings are relatively cheap. Approx $50-60 USD for inner and outer on both sides. It's the rears that cost $120 USD for both.
