Should I replace strut mounts when lowering car at 50,000kms

Are ECS mounts better? Or will OEM mounts and bearings be sufficient enough?
The OEM mounts are sufficient. The bearings are the same regardless. I've not heard any reviews on the ECS mounts yet. Would be nice though! An 034 motorsport rep told me they were also working on strut mounts for the GTI. I enjoyed theirs on my mk6.
Or just get the GC or IE camber plates...
Anyone have the ECS or 034 mounts and bearings? I think my OE mounts are shot at 7K miles (with aftermarket springs/shocks) so I'm not keen on replacing them with the OE parts again unless the ECS and 034 options are noticeably harsher or noisy from the beginning.
Edit: went with 034 since they are local.
thisUnless you want to do the job twice, yes. I swapped springs at less than 1k miles, one of my bearings started making noise and I had to replace it. I'd spend the money and get new mounts and bearings.
What's your take on them?
