Do I need new OEM top mounts?
 
I'm probably getting RCE Tarmac IIs soon, and I'm planning on using the oem top mounts because I don't need enough camber to justify buying camber plates, and plus I'd prefer to not have to deal with the NVH from camber plates or pillowball mounts.

That being said, can I just reuse the ones from my stock suspension, or do I need to buy new oem top mounts? My car is a 2016 and only has 30,000 miles, so I assume they're not too worn.

I would get new ones so you can pre-assemble the coilovers and mounts.

It makes it a lot more convenient to install your new coilovers when you have an extra set of top mounts, plus we don't charge much extra for including OEM mounts. Also convenient to sell your OEM stuff OR to store your OEM stuff when it's assembled.

Thanks for the responses guys. I'm actually going to get these installed by a shop, so I'm not too concerned about how it affects the difficulty of install. They said they'd charge me pretty much the same regardless of if they need to pull the old top mounts off. It doesn't seem like there's any functional reasons why I'll need new ones though right?

If it's 30k mostly easy-ish miles you'll be just fine.
