If you're looking at Comp brake or Corby don't bother. They don't fit anyway. I think both Jason and myself sent the correct size into and still they couldn't get them right.

New OE ones are best option.

Why would you need adjustable rear top mounts anyway? They can't have any effect on the rear suspension geometry as that's totally down to the rear swing arm bushes.

use e28 ones, they bolt in I used the upgraded ones form ground control in the states.

The comp brake front are meant to be redrilled and the last time I checked they had the front and rear part numbers back to front so you may have a rear set.
