      I have a set of blue top mounts with MSII's sat here, hoping to fit in the coming days. They seem like the best bet. The HD mounts do last longer but still not long enough. Have a set unused here, decided to try the mount savers first.

        Was looking at HDs on eBay.de but they apparently dont last any long and people dont have good things to say about the 034 mounts either

          I use these http://www.compbrake.com/suspension/...nts/-3528.html on the front and rear with 475lb/in 2.5" coil over springs. I've not destroyed a set yet! I dare say comfort and road noise will be compromised!

              i use the same CompBrake ones in the race car. drag racing, super stiff springs, hard launches.

              i beat the crap out of them and have had zero problems. i really like the fast removal of them, too.

                Yes, tarmac stage rally use. They have been in for about 4 years now (need to pull out the original receipt) and agree that they are a quality part.

                  I wore a set out in mine, however i suspect the issue was water/dirt/salt from daily use getting into the spherical bearing that killed it.

                    I looked at the idea of the compbrake ones, seems too harsh for daily.

                    Think I'll try HDs they are cheap on ebay.de

                      Hi, I use the compbrake at the front for daily use, and thinking about buying the set also for the rear (rear SKF are worn out).
                      The compbrakes are realy better than original, the car feels more sharp on the cornering, and I dont think that its more noisy than before... (and of course they lasts longer than SKF I had before...)
