FAG vs. SKF wheel bearings
Jayusa123 - Thursday, 5 September, 2013, at 1:51:34 am
Looking to do the wheel bearings on my MY99 Boxster. Pelican carries both SKF and FAG brands, with the latter at less than half the price. Does anyone have any opinions on which is the best choice?
Did a little research and found this thread on another forum

Looks like FAG bearings are very dependable and comparable to the SKF. Any other opinions/experiences?
FAG, SKF and Timken ...

my LCDs -- is a FAG. It lasted around 90K miles. I do not know what the replacement bearing was but the other 3 bearings assuming they are FAG have lasted 270K miles. I'd say FAG and hang the few extra bucks.
