Look at the interior core pictures, the ARC one looks better made.....size isn't everything.

I think there was a review of different top mounts in last months' Japanese Performance, could be worth trying to track down a copy. They tested one on there that looked very similar, and it wasn't that good....

They are crap quality mate. Notice no pic of it on the car. if you look at the one for 2001 on, that dont fit. In one pic the bolt dont fit in another pic they have fitted a bolt but the other end is pushing on the brake resevior. so it ain't gone to be any better fitment I suspect... Save up for a pukka one from a reputable company/make

I'd go for a later sti intercooler mate, flow rates are much better than poor aftermarket ones. I'v just fitted an sti8 intercooler to my m/y94 sti and what a differance it made when mapped!!!
