Pillowball Top Mounts - [ebay]

I use a set of the Ground Control Pillowball top mounts on my crx but those are all sold out and maybe too expensive for my wagon project at the moment.
Searching ebay i came across these top mounts (found by clicking the link below) (sorry tried to snatch the pic and post here but didnt work for me)

Anyone running these mounts or have any experience with them?
I know my current mounts are beat up pretty badly so i'd like to replace them with something that can handle a stiffer suspension better than stock mounts. They look strikingly similar to the ground control mounts.

    they are not pillow ball mounts, and i wouldnt touch those with a barge pole!!

    they are just taller hard rubber bushed mounts


    actual pillowball mounts would only be advantageous on track in my experience. they give you better feedback and feel through the steering, and for road use can be a bit noisy/crashy.

    i shouldve just called them mounts i got tricked by the auction title and was thinking pillowball.

    For the longest time ground control had the picture of their mounts distorted so that nobody could steal the design without actually buying them, eventually and enevitably someone was bound to copy the extremely basic design(probably the reason they tried to hide it for so long with the distortion) When parts are made of 6061 aluminum and standard hardware theres really not much functional difference; But i do wonder about the bushings thus the post.

    Edit:
    I just looked on Ground Controls website again and i guess the mounts are back in stock.
    Just yesterday they weren't.
    So rather than risk the questionable ebay stuff i will save and just do GC again and save myself the headache.
    The metal mount on a street car thing isnt for everyone but ive had good experience with it on my cars.

    I have full pillowball mounts on my wagon and don't have any problems with noise.
