OEM vs After Market Upper Strut Mounts...

I'm going to be installing some Tokico Illumina shocks and wanted to know whether or not I should pick up 4 new OEM upper strut mounts, or if there is a good (and reasonably priced) alternative, that might use a solid pillow-ball mount. I know that the OEM ones are prone to failure, after a long time of abuse. But, they are only $65 a piece.

I won't be tracking the car much (if at all), but if there is a good option for around $100... it might be worth it.

Thanks!

Steve

Stick with the stock rubber mounts. The Tokicos are made to mount to those.
