Mercedes are not junk cars and the only thing I order Chinese is "take out"!

As you may have read, ZF confirmed these were legitimate Lemforder. I think Pelican is a good site, they have decent customer service, but I've had less hassle with this other website. Their prices are 15-20% cheaper for the same parts so of course I use them.
ZF now sells the Boge mounts as Boge, they are no longer repackaged as Lemforder like the first set of these mounts I got 2 years ago were nor do they sell these Chinese-made mounts anymore. This website and Pelican clearanced the remaining stock they had of these but Pelican had them for $10 more each than my other website. Again, you get the same parts here as you do on my website.
I have never used crap parts on my car and I don't think Chinese parts from reputable manufacturers is a real concern. You might as well go buy a Honda yourself if you are concerned about Chinese parts, more and more of these replacement parts will be made in China in coming years.
