for 129 and a supposed lifetime warranty i'll try them once. The equipment on my car is between 18 and 14 years old, and I need to do a freshening. Will report back. Even if i need to do a warranty swap, i still have at least 10 good coils in a box.

they have all kind of qualities. I thought till recently they only sell the cheap stuff, but I found now their online shop (not the Ebay one) and they even have Meyle and Behr etc.

I checked with Rockauto.com and they have coils for $52 to $64 each. I put in 1993 525i.
$30 each at FCP? Damn!
I think they have the v8 set for about 160 with free shipping on ebay. the prices are lower there. I had to pay 10% extra to get the lifetime warranty.Quote:

it all adds up...
i dont know about you guys but for me id rather pay a little more now than a lot later...
my 2 cents
Exactly, 3 sets of control arms? I did get a final refund but what a waste of time. At least I got the replacement down to less than 45 min a side. :DQuote:

I might have to pay for return shipping, but if I can change em out every 25kmiles or so, when they invariably develop hairline cracks, at least twice, i'll eat the inconvenience.
let us know how this works out, sometimes parts are parts.Quote:
