They are longer m8,as for as strong not sure but a lot of people use them on cosworths.
Check your engine mounts first m8,had this prob on my 4x4 saph and both mounts were fooked

James,

hi mate.

i fitted the xr4x4 one on my car ages ago and have had no probs since.

these are about 25mm longer.

Can get a used one complete for about Ł30! from a scrap yard/breakers.

As above check the mounts.



Dave.
