Top Mounts? Febi or Gen?

[Turkish1]

Are the genuine Renault suspension top mounts really better than the cheaper Febi top mounts, as the Febi are nearly half the price of the gen parts.

Cheers

I went with OEM top mounts. Didn't want to risk getting them and having to pay out twice to replace them, but hopefully someone who has bought the top mounts by the companies you've mentioned will come along

I had one replaced in my previous 197 as I tore one of them during a trackday, I think it was the febi bilstein and they both lasted until the end of my possesion of the car, did over 60k miles after the exchange.

Changed both of mine for Febi items, done about 12 months / 8k on them so far.

For me a decent branded aftermarket part will always trump a genuine item where there is a decent cost saving to be had.

are these the correct ones? bit of a mind field, as this parts number on eBay says it doesn't fit
