Standard ones are abit like jelly so if you intend to put on uprated struts ,the standard top mounts will not last long ,as i have found out with my billstiens. So far Graham Goode racing seems the onlly place to have them but are £59 plus the vat each. so if you find anywhere cheaper let me know. Mrt in oz sells them 130 dollars a pair

Hello dfullerton,

thanks for your answer. I think I will get a set as I am staying in Oz at the moment.

had a set of these of MRT, they only lasted me few months before the bearing on one of them went. my opinion, NOT really worth the money.

Hello Sam,

I need to buy a new set of them. I thought the MRT ones are ok, but as I understand it you say that they are even worse than the OEM units.
Do you know where to get the cusco or HKS items and how much they cost?
The MRT items cost 101australianDollar each, which is from my point of view rather cheap?

greetings

i have them... fantastic they are!

comparing them to stock mounts is a joke. they completely solidify the suspension and allow for an even better ride, feel, and cornering... no more bouncy bouncy!

Problem is, I am really undecided now.

I am just staying another 2 weeks in Australia now. I should make a decision.

Sam, where can I get the HKS or Cusco items?

Sam, are you really sure that the MRT items are bad? (even worse than OEM?).
