Currently having a bit of a suspension/propshaft sort out - using Lemforder for most parts but can't source engine mounts, gearbox mounts or the propshaft centre bearing and support.
Can get all in Febi Bilstein - for a quarter of OEM parts at dealer prices. Question is, is that just short term saving? Is the difference in quality enough so that in a couple of years I'll be p***ed off I didn't stump up the extra cash for OEM?
Cost cutting - Febi Bilstein vs OEM?

Febi Bilstein is OEM. Just like Lemforder. You are not short term saving.

I used RS2000/capri thick engine mounts from Burton Power for my M20 - all good and not expensive.
Dealer gearbox mounts are stupid money
