FEBI BILSTEIN Strut Mount 4A0412377C

I want to get two new strut top mounts, I think the part number is above is correct, it seems they are not readily available as:

FEBI BILSTEIN or Lemforder ?

They are available as Topran or Vitek (?) for €20.00

Audi has a rrp of €116.00 each.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get FEBI BILSTEIN or Lemforder versions ?

Thanks.

Febi 01366 should be the one you need.

I've had some VERY good bargains from amazon, part no. 4A0412377C came up with this below?......a knock off copy??.....hopefully not, states Febi-Bilstein but very cheap.

Thanks for the prompt replies.

I've ordered one Febi from my local factors and a second Febi one from "Mick's Garage" online.

Also two cheap brand / prices ones from German & Swedish.

I figure it'll a good idea to have a new spare pair on the shelf given the 'difficulty' in getting a 'consumable' part.

Given the various prices on offer, Audi's price is very hard to swallow.

So I will update this thread on how I got on next week.

Thanks again for the replies so far.

Dave i bought the Lemforder ones no problem and they are identicle to Audi ones in every way!

Mine came from here last year and are still available.

Perfect, saved link.

Thanks VDT.

Local Factors dropped in to the house the one Febi one they had on the shelf, looks perfect.

€11.66 to me incl. vat.

They deliver to the trade so they deliver to me also as a long-standing private customer.

€116.00 rrp from Audi. I know the relevant person in Audi AG will never see this thread, but their prices for parts for their older cars are cruel, not to mention the NLA stuff. BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche are all a lot better with the older parts availability.

What's all the more galling is the fact that when doing press launches for their new cars, Audi repeatedly roll out their old quattro rally and ISMA cars and understandably glorify their past success, but fail to support the owners of their older cars, even though there are not many of us about compared to all of the Porsches, and Mercs and BMWs out there.

VAG could do with some positive PR without too much cost in the overall scheme of things. Anyway I need to stop 'whinging', as I know you all know this and think along similar lines

End of rant.

Back on topic so to speak.

Amazon no good ??

Too cheap for you?

I can make adjustable top mounts(camber plates) 220e@kit. Lot more stiffer than OE, and more adjustable...

Thanks Thuppu, would be too stiff for me with H&R springs and 35 series tyres at 40psi on patchy roads and speed ramps.

I would like to increase the castor though.
