Strut Mounts for 300e- Febi or Boge?

Stevebl last year said Febi was a "reboxer," and on a recent Febi purchase the box for the mounts said Made in China. The Allparts companion to Fastlane offers Febi for $26 and Boge for $32. Other suppliers have Meyle & HamburgTec mounts for $29, but prior posts here suggest they are not good quality product lines. I am seeking suggestions on which I should get. Thanks.

Febi is a re-boxer! Many times they supply OE parts as well as other brands..

EVEN Boge can be aftermarket...they re-box parts as well..

WHAT part number? I can check on the OE vender..

The OE bushing was made by Metzler....would think that Boge would re-box that OE part...$32 is a good price on a $64 list that most dealers get $75!

The Febi IS a aftermarket version! on that application
