Ok I've pulled the trigger on the SuperPro's. They seem to fit the 'Do it Once, Do It Right' mantra. Spending $35 on aftermarket rubber replacements, only to have them collapse and need replacing again in two years is a false economy to me.

Thanks Imoegnr. I've decided not to go with the SuperPro Polyurethane version based on NVH increases that even SuperPro acknowledge it has. Will stick with the SuperPro Polyelast version.

Any performance difference between OEM rubber mount and SuperPro Polyelast mount?

The polyelast are a bit 'less compliant', the top of the damper rod wont move around as much as a OEM/rubber strut mount does.

Thanks lmoengnr, that's exactly what I'm after. A small improvement to handling response without the added NVH, to compliment the new coilovers.

Cheers!

V2 III Monaro
So you've not noticed ANY increase in NVH after fitting SuperPro Polyelast top mounts lowandslow?
Did you notice any performance differences?
Hard to tell if i've noticed any tiny increase as the wagon is just a daily beater which is in the twilight days of it's life however the difference is massive compared to my Monaro which has the older style poly strut top by Nolathane. The noise and feel as you hit a bump in the wagon is the same as standard whereas the Monaro you know if you've hit a pot hole or the like.
