I bought a set from phobman mainly because I couldn't leave my car on the lift several days while waiting for mine to be repaired. They fit into my old casings very well with no side play at all in the center section. My car is now at original height, shock stems are centered and ride is great. I am very pleased with mine. Time will tell how long they will last. The material he used seems to be extremely tough.
I am very happy.
At what point are they expected to fail? Mine has 118000 km and I do not see an issue. Should I buy a set pre-emtivly? For a 25 yr old car, has surprisingly few issues. The current mounts are sort of orange in colour, pliable and centred.

My factory front spring mounts had 34000miles or so when I changed them and they have been worn out for quite a while. Some say the Euro mounts only last a few thousand miles. Haven't used them myself.
The ones the guys on this fourm rebuild, I have never heard of anyone having trouble with them.
There are two problems associated with he originals, one you can see, the other you cannot see. The one you can see is the top mount, and the original mounts last quite a long time. The one you can't see is the spring isolator, the big donut that is between the spring and the housing. This one is under a lot more load and slowly crumbles to dust lowering the front of the cars height, and rubbing metal on metal. The aftermarket products have been a dismal attempt at fixing the problem
Just installed the first side of two of Phobman’s kit, and I can say I am very, very happy with the results! I had a question during installation and Peter responded to me MUCH faster than I had expected, clearing up any confusion. Great job, Peter! I can’t wait to get the other side together( after the car show this weekend lol!)
my only suggestion (and it’s ONLY a suggestion) would be to include a printed version of your first few posts of this thread as instructions with every kit, or a printed link to this thread for instructions. Either way I am very happy with it!!
