996 Top mount advice

Hi,

I had planned to lower/upgrade the suspension on my C4S but not quite so soon...after being advised during its service last week that I need new top mounts I thought I would get it done sooner all in one hit......I haven't 100% decided on which suspension yet still torn.

I like the convenience of the M030...reasonably priced, ARB's inc, and all purchased together ready for a straight swap over. I just don't know if it will give me the stance I'm looking for.
I'm leaning to -25mm RUF springs (H&R look a little too low), coupled up with Bilstien B8 dampers. I've priced up and should come in near the £1200 mark. Someone did throw a curve ball on Rennlist pointing out that PSS10's are on offer at Carnewal for £1600ish, but I don't think I will ever benefit from full coilovers.

My question is do I still buy stock OEM top mounts, or do I need an alternative version if lowering....I noticed Design911 have top mounts specifically for the M030? These are pricey though....a pair of stock top mounts will be less than £100, whereas the M030 jobbies are over £400 notes.

Then I saw these for a pair......https://www.porscheshop.co.uk/billet-gt3-front-strut-top-mounts-stomski-racing-pair-all-996-997-986-987-ca.html

Any advice would be really appreciated????
 
Just had M030 fitted with new top mounts, and fitted Sachs top mounts sourced from e bay, polish seller. The mounts were £40 each.
Excellent price and service. Hope this helps.
 
Not much of a drop, 10mm. But I didn't want her too low, just renew suspension and greatly improve handling, so Im happy.
