Default thats correct but thats not a "load deflecting" or affecting dynamic...

if it were the solid mounts would snap the top of the strut rods off rather than allow them to turn with the wheels. Linear is the all-important deflection direction on a mount.

Default I've never heard of Continental/CRP but this stuff varies by region... Boge is still the mount...

you get in an Audi box if you order from the dealership. And yes the part number is still active. My Boges came from the dealer and are the "only" ones tested with an Audi part number molded into the mount body.

Default I dont remember but I think in the $40ea+/- range. However, I would give someone like Impex...

a look as they're known to carry "real-deal" Audi parts and see what turns up for this part #:
8A0 412 355 A as thats the Audi number cast into the body of the Boge mounts.
