Question now is, risk getting fakes from eBay for 89 or get guaranteed genuine for 150

His ebay listing says “genuine” so many times that he would be hard pressed to claim ignorance if his parts turned out to be Chinesium!

Then you either have a very nice econobox or a really messed up LS

Perhaps, feel confident the mounts and the replacement idler pulley will resolve

I would just change the idler pulley first, didn't your mechanic tell you that was bad? Your mounts might still be good, even though they aren't OEM. No sense wasting time and money on something that isn't bad. Just my opinion.

And if they weren't "genuine" he would have a helluva lot more bad reviews. I see "Japan" on all his other listings I looked at.

Gonna be done with the mounts. I know the mounts are good just not OEM thus causing vibration and noise ..as well as annoying harmonics due to being not properly designed per specs of the car.

I'll say this those weren't there with original mounts.
