It is common on performance builds to mix bearing sets. But they do it with standard bearings and then "X" bearings which have .001" more clearance to fine tune the vertical bearing clearance. Keep in mind, they are also honing cylinders .005" or less on a performance rebuild to just get the proper profilmeter reading for the ring pack used.
