they all got the same outside diameter so its only a matter of getting the right size sleeve nut to suit .

there the same ones that Miller3 are using on his sapphire.

the comp brake ones make the strut sit lower by around 30-40mm dependant on if you fit them above or below the welded in ring .
the wrc ones make the strut sit higher up in the body but im not sure by how much .
this is my top mount i will be fitting the mounts to the top bolting into the ring i welded in


or you could do it this way which was my old set up

the wrc ones give better suspenion travel, to cut the suspenion tops to fit compbrake ones does away with so many mm of suspenion travel, so i think is not good.

thanks steven
