W124 Subframe Mounts

Well as I'm pulling the carrier to do the rear wheel bearing I see my lower drivers side control arm has a rust hole in it. And the whole subframe is surface rusty, but I do not see any more holes. My subframe mounts are toast, so I think I may as well go ahead and do the subframe mounts, and POR15 some stuff while I am in there.

My plan was to do the Sportline rear subframe mounts, I did some extensive looking around a long time ago and I have the part number

2023503408



saved, its available from most parts places for around $60 for the pair. From the dealer this p/n is $77.22 each.

However Benzworld is saying 202-351-09-42 is the sportline rear number from the dealer this is $26 each.

But looking at the picture they look the same, taller than the original W124 mounts and include new plates and longer bolts.

Do both work?

Also, for the "sportline" conversion are the forward mounts standard, or is there a sportline version of that as well? I'm trying to sort though all of these pages I stored on firefox.
