          Mine are getting closer to a batch. They seem pretty indestructible so far!

            Haha! Standard are crap then..? I've heard of green mounts, blue mounts, 034, and various oem mounts not being equal tomother oem mounts, and the only solid conclusion is that whatever you fit they should be deemed as consumable, and something to add to a service every year. Am I far off with that...?!

              thats about the long and short of it. I've used the Meyle HD ones and they do seem to last longer then OEM but basically its all a flawed design and best to refresh them annually and get the car aligned too...will feel all the better for it too

                  When you say close, will it be this year and how much?

                          Would these fit a 2wd Coupe? And why do they ask you to specify the wheel nut size....?!

                            Can any body confirm this is the meyle part number for front top mounts?
                            100 412 0004/HD
                            cheers
                            going to try these i think depending on price the compbrake ones seem good but im only doing about 1000 miles a year in the old girl now
                            then would you go for oem blue ones at the back?
                            cheers
