Any benefit (or detriment) to installing Tarret front camber plates with X73 suspension?

Replacing OEM components with X73 at 60k miles, and thinking that top mounts might be worn out.

I could just buy new stock units if there is no real benefit from the Tarret and/or a detriment. Thanks.

USE: 90% street 10% track.

I think you'd be fine with just new OEM strut tops. I'd be sure to replace the strut bearing as well.

Tarret makes an outstanding product. The benefits are minimal flex in the top mount which keeps your suspension geometry consistant in a turn. They also easy to dial in or out negative camber. The down side is they transmit more suspension noise. With all that side, I think for your application these might be overkill and you will be just as happy with replacing the stock mounts.

I concur that they are an outstanding product. I have a set of the camber plates on the front and the rear strut mounts as well. With that said; if I had to do it over again, I'd just have opted for a new set of OEM Porsche tops. I feel like they are just overkill for a street setup. But again, not to detract from their quality because they are a great piece!
