Wheel bearings for JDM 03 STI

Wheel bearings for JDM 03 STI
I think one of mine is on the way out and I want to get it done.
We have a main dealer near where I work, so as long as it is the same part as a UK car, im sure they will take my money.
BUT, Is it the same part? Does any one know?
Also, I have seen some horror pictures of bearings that have destroyed the bearing carrier/hub, with now outwards signs of doing so (until you take it apart).
If that has happened to mine, I don't relish the thought of paying for a brand new hub.
So, are the UK hubs (front or rear] the same as for JDM cars as well? If so I might get one, fit it have the bearing replaced off the car and sell it on if mine is ok.
Does anyone know a hub expert?

Don't see why it would be different. You need to ask a specialist like Scoobyclinic. I had NSR one fail and it did indeed goose the hub. SC found me a S/H replacement for £45 so its not too awful.

I had to replace the nearside one on my JDM STi couple of years back.
I bought the new parts from my Subaru dealer for a UK STi.
Cost about £60, there's 3 parts to it, if my memory's correct.
All fitted, ok.
