Replace Top Mounts?
I'm installing a set of M Performance coilovers soon and will be retaining the OEM top mount setup. I'm wondering if I should take the opportunity to buy fresh mounts? The existing ones on my OEM dampers have 35k miles on them - do we have a sense for the longevity of these items? Thanks.

Personally I would not put them back in as many (including myself) have had noise issues with aftermarket suspension on OEM top mounts. They just aren’t very high quality and something as simple as unloading/reloading them during the installation can cause noise issues.
