Do you have the Gen 2 versions with the rubber rear top mounts Connor?

If you go to the BC website you'll get pics of them. The fronts have alloy top mount plates. The rears have larger rubber type mounts. You should be able to see if you can **** your head into the wheel arch as to what you have at the rear.

My understanding is that the Gen 1 sets had front and rear alloy mounts resulting in noise etc. The Gen 2 sets have rubber mounts on the rear pair so it makes a difference. Don't quote me on it though

That's correct - I have the Gen 2 versions with rubber OEM-style top mounts, which are supposed to be quieter than the Gen 1 versions.
If you have the Gen 1 topmounts you may be able to swap them for Gen 2 - don't know if they're interchangeable but you could ask Bren @ Apex.
