My rear stock hubs broke on me in the middle of nowhere and I would like to avoid this from happening again. What are the best and most reliable front & rear hubs available?

Both of your rear hubs broke at the same time? Stock hubs are fairly strong and people rarely have a problem with them... But Hardkore makes some nice hubs. They should have something for the Z... They arent cheap though. A little over $200 for a pair I believe. Can I ask how they broke? Thats odd that they both break at the same time.

It was just one hub. Somehow the lug nuts loosened and my rim pretty much came off and tore apart my rim & hub. Pretty stupid I know. Either way, thanks for the suggestion and I'm going to look into those hubs.

Your gonna be better off using the stockers. I've gone though a set of Tusk( bad quality and aluminum splines) Durablue, and lonestar. They've all stripped out. So I went back to the stock hubs and they are still holding strong. I think my initial problem was the hub nut worked loose and caused my problem with stockers in the first place. Havent had any issues with them in the past 2 yrs.

I would just run the stockers. If the nut came loose, then naturally your gonna have issues.
