Upper shock mount Bushings
 
How are these compared to Welsh Jaguar?

I would not trust Partsgeek for a set of shock mounts anywhere on the car....

Then who would you get them from? Other than jaguar?

Well, how long are you planning on keeping the car? Who handles the mechanical end of things? DIY or pay someone?
New oem jaguar (@ 490 a pair) are probably good for 100K miles and @ 15 years+/-..
Welsh, failures in as little as 5K miles and several years...but others have reported much better results...the verdict isn't clear at this time...$150 a pair.
Other foams, 3 months (a new record low) to some other more acceptable time/milage period. @ 200 a pair...but this company guarantees them for life...

Personally I do almost all servicing on my car, having said that if you are planning on keeping the car I would seriously consider the oem mounts. I do not relish replacing my new welsh mounts in several years and if I must I will go OEM.
I guess the old adage applies; you get what you pay for.
If Welsh stood behind the product I would feel differently.

Forum sponsor SNG Barratt has three options, from cheap n' cheesy to OEM, although their USD pricing is way higher than GBP converted ($253 vs. $187 each for OEM).

Depends also on whether you're a fan of poly. I went OEM. Some offerings aren't much better than Homer's donuts.
Just my :icon_twocents:
