Default Difference in Strut mounts?

I'm a little bit confused on strut mounts for my SC300. Is there a difference between the front and rear mounts? I was looking into the Tokico mounts on a vendors site here and it has the same part number for both the front and rears, but yet when I go to Advance auto or AutoZone they only have the rear mounts and not the front ones Now to be even more confused RockAuto has Monroe mounts and the front one is listed at around $20 and the rear is priced at $50, so what makes the rear so different from the front ?

you mean the top mounts for the suspension? front's larger the rear's smaller.... (assuming SC and GS suspension mount's the same...) Also, on the GS, the rear suspension it's inverted mounting spring...

I'm debating whether or not to go with the Monroe or Tokico sets.

Which ones do you guys recommend?

Here are the Monroe's

Front:


Rear:



I cant find a picture of the Tokico's, but I went to their site and it has the same part number for the fronts and rears, so that is kinda confusing me. The only thing I question with the Front mount for Monroes is whether or not it is quality because it looks kinda cheap.

Now the other question I have is does anyone know if these include the bearings?
