For the money they don't look too bad.

RPM have tried and tested camber/castor adjustable top mounts but they come in at £215

One thing to consider is how the bearing is retained, lots use a circlip and ive heard people complaining about it rattling which is likely to wear the mount, I used some E36 mounts with a screw in retainer for the bearing and had them re-drilled for E30 fit

i've got some of those on mine, seem ok (not amazing quality but good enough) although it seems that the spherical bearing doesn't like to rotate freely under load so i've bought some needle bearings to fit inbetween the spring and top cap - a la escort boys.
