New Motor mounts - worth buying OEM?

Hey everyone,

I was going to order new motor mounts for my 99 e320 and put them in myself. There seems to be plenty on ebay but then I was able to find them on pelicanparts for cheaper. They have both OEM and non OEM.

Does anyone have experience buying from this website?

Do you think it is worth it to buy OEM? They are twice the price and I can't imagine they are worth that unless the non OEM are such crap that I have to replace them again in a year or two. The car is already 15 years old so if it last me another 5 i'll be damn happy. The other brand is Corteco by the way.

Here's the link

Get the Lemforder. You can check peachparts and autohausaz but prices don't vary much. Lemforder makes the MM's for MB so you are getting MB without the fancy packaging.

autohausaz is actually $16 cheaper. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm buying them now.
