Standard bearings are ball bearings. They work fine. You can use tapered
bearings, and I think they are better if you autocross or race the car, or if
you have oversized wheels or tires.
Get a Moss Motors catalog. Lots of very good info on just about everything,
including bearings, in there. Download it from www.mossmotors.com.
