b2 90 quattro strut top mounts

Are the top mounts the same front and rear on a b2 90 quattro?

also, what is the best option for this part?

OEM, or something else uprated?

Aftermarket any good?

Theoretically, no. For practical purposes, yes.

Due to living in latvia and in reality, not dream world, I put lemforder top mounts with increased height on both axles. Most of this forum users likely uses either stock dimension parts, or uses them with "savers" [inserts that prevents them from functioning, thereby saving them], or some racing oriented drivers maybe uses solid mounts. Question of taste and intended use of the car.

Like I said. Part numbers in ETKA are different. I haven't seen original ones, obviously rear ones in my A90q had been replaced by some generic front ones, and I did the same, as there are no issues with this.
