    Where to buy genuine topmounts (not GSF)

    Am I gonna have to go to my stealer for these? I'd read that GSF were BOGE but the ones I ordered are black and made by vtech.

    Not gonna bother with them, and not sure they'll fit with the MSII's anyway. May as well go with the set of HD's i have if I cant get any in time.

      Try Rob http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/urquattrob/ he is also member on this forum. I got some blue top mounts of him before.

        i'd give a genuine thumbs up for the Meyle HD's...I've run them for some time now and they have been actually a) silent and b) resilient to the usual wear that renders a set of greens/blues useless in 6 months.

          Get solid top mounts and be done with it. No more squishy rubber issues.

            I tried to source Boge without any luck, they are listed with a part number in the catalog but they couldn't be ordered as they were for dealer supply only. If you do find a source let me know, i just ordered them direct from Audi in the end as thats what was used in the promounts and the mount savers dont really fit into other mounts that well.

            The mount savers 100% will not fit into the Meyle HD mounts, but you dont want them anyway as they are made out of chocolate. They will probably fit into Lemforder or Meyle mounts but in my experience they just dont last anywhere near as long as the Boge mounts. And dont even waste your time on the cheap ebay mounts, you will get two weeks out of them at best.

            Short answer, just buy them from Audi and be done with it.

              read this link....Boge = same/same Sachs ...dont use Meyle HDs !!! MS2s dont fit them !
              My MS2's have lasted 2k miles so far on rear ( I have PMs on front ) and they are the biz....once again I dont get why no-one has made a few sets in UK, hard to get from US recently although I know Mance/VAP had a bunch of MS2's for sale recently

                The Meyle HD are also ****, I have spanked two pairs now.
                I am working on a new solution that I think will work really well (but only for those running coilovers as it alters the ride height a bit over stock mounts)
