    Front Strut Mounts - Meyle OK?

    I'm swapping out my Billy Sports for Konis and was planning on replacing the front strut mounts while I'm at it. I had ordered Boge/Sachs mounts from ECS Tuning but apparently they're on backorder everywhere until May.

    My go to for suspension parts is usually Lemforder, but I haven't been able to find them anywhere. ECS and others do have Meyle in stock, though. Are these good enough quality, or should I wait til the Sachs are back in?

    thanks

    Meyle is fine. It seems anything but Uro is reliable.

    I'd go with Febi/Bilstein if possible.

      What sail boat said. Going with OEM or close OE is never a bad thing. Uro is bad.

            no uro for anything? I ended up using them for a few heather hoses I believe. Didn't see any obvious fitment flaws or build quality issues, although I only have a few.

              My rule of thumb has been using uro parts only for unessential items where quality/fitment isn't particularly important... fuse box cover, door pulls, shock bellows, bump stops, etc.
