Anyone have experience with FCS suspension parts?

I bought a serpentine belt (Not OEM (I think Gator)) and got and got an absolutely fantastic price on it too. Only cost me about $600 and 20 hours plus about $12 for the belt. When the belt broke it took out my timing belt too. I use FCP OEM. Rock is good for on sale wiper blades IMHO.

I think I purchased the FCS strut assemblies from Rockauto.com . I have purchased from Rockauto.com plenty of time but normally I buy 95% of my Volvo or BMW parts through fcpeuro.com.

Thanks. Can find some good consumables at excellent prices from Rock but does not make sense any more if FCP carries it.

FCPEURO.COM carries FCS quick struts now?

I didn't see it for the 08 C30 nor 03 T6. Searching FCS for the entire FCP site came up empty. I did a general search and found other Forums and Amazon reviews with almost 50% good and bad experiences.

Maybe I made a mistake on FCPEURO.com selling them, it might of been partsgeek.com.

2 years later .... how's everyone's opinion on FCS now? I'm debating to pull the trigger on one for my front right XC70 strut.

Did you get a set of FCS Quick Strut Assemblies? I almost ordered the FCS Front Struts for the 08 C30. I did some research and almost purchased it because of the Lifetime Warranty but would prefer to go through the manufacturer. Unfortunately, you have to go through CARiD if you buy it from them. Looks like a good company from my research also.

Wrong forum but I did purchase a set of Quick Struts with 10 years warranty for my 03 S80. Hope to install them next week. I have found that eBay will help warranty products if the Manufacturer is slow to respond so I purchase them from eBay instead of direct. This company has been very customer friendly and had provide answers quickly on question about 2 other purchases. They also send an email after purchase to make sure you are happy with the product.

Yes.

The vendor I purchased them through is reputable and yes they have lifetime warranty. Normally I'd go with factory (Sachs) but I didn't feel like tearing the entire assembly's down and Sachs doesn't offer a pre-assembled Macpherson struts for my XC90 T6. They look great and ride nicely.

How are the FCS strut assemblies holding up?

They hold up good, I've been using them on a 2005 Saabaru 9-2x for last 2 years also. For the money they are great, much better than Monroe or Gabriel .
