      Of the 2, Meyle HD are supposed to be a stiffer rubber.

          None of the above, buy a genuine one from Audi. Personally i found the HD mounts worse than the regular mounts.

              Febi. All rubber is Febi on my car and no problems whatsoever. No way I'm paying for the overpriced Lemforder and genuine Audi is just robbery.

                I knew you would chime in! My feelings on this lies within threads where many members have had problems with their poor quality. Janis,did anyone tell you that Febi mix in with their rubber solution...... Liquorice.

                Agree with you totally in the rip off audi bush prices that have only gone up at least 100% since i started buying them around 9 years ago.

                  Febi sometimes packs other manufacturers parts in their boxes. In case of B4 topmounts there was INA part inside. Same goes for Lemforder, just more expensive packaging.

                    Personally I would go for solid top mounts and be done with considerring which is best and how long they wont last. They don't impact ride quality and sharpen up the steering. Perfect for road or track. AK Motorsport or Compbrake.
