Wheel bearings

[Turbwhistle]

So i am going to need wheel bearing soon, and was wondering which to go with? I see fcp groton sells one for $30, or you can get the F.A.G. bearings from ecs for $50, is there any reason to spend the extra $20, i know it doesn't seem like a lot, but for a student that would buy up to 4 bearings, thats a savings of $80, if i got the fcp ones. So, can anyone tell me the difference, or experiences you have had with either? Maybe you have another brand you would use? Any help would be great.

*** and SKF are generally factory suppliers to Audi and VW, so you're generally assured that you're getting a part that's equivalent to what you'd get from the factory. FCP, well you never know what you get since they don't specify the manufacturer, which usually means its some no-name factory overseas somewhere.

I generally won't use anything other than SKF or *** bearings, and certainly won't sell you anything less than those.

So i guess F.A.G. it is.

SKF or F.A.G. bearings are top of the line quality. FCP must be selling Chinese bearing of less quality (Not because it's Chinese, it's not a racist comment, but most parts from FCP appear to be manufactured from China and are copies. Copies are not always as good, bearing especially).

I've put in ***. I paid only paid forty but I cant remember where I got it from

I've been running a F.A.G bearing in my car for 20k miles, not a single issue.

Thanks for the support!!
