Strut Tower Bushings???

I need to replace my front strut tower bushings. ECS has several brands; BMW, Febi, Lemforder and KYB. Does anyone have experience using anything other than the BMW? There's a pretty big difference in price.

My friend used the Lemforder replacements his on his E46 and was very pleased.

I can't speak for the Febi and KYB variants.

As for the BMW pieces, it's a toss-up between them and the Lemforder variants. I'd probably buy which ever is cheaper.

Lemforder is an OEM supplier for BMW.The cost is much less than buying from BMW. Many have used Febi and have been happy. I wouldn't be worried about longevity with either Lemforder or Febi. KYB is supposed to be higher performance but I wouldn't worry about the performance of a strut tower bushing.
