Upper mounts for coilovers

Hey guys I've been searching the site and haven't found much on this topic and I need guidance. I just bought tien ss coilovers and I'm curious what shock mounts you guys use because I'm trying to figure out if there is an alternative to the OEM mounts.

The OEM top hats are more than adequate. I've never seen anyone use anything else which either tells me the OEM's are best or no alternatives exist.

I use stock base TL top hats on mine. Another option was using type S top hats which are supposedly stiffer but the difference is probably relatively small. e.g. not worth buying new top hats.

Marcus at Heeltoe sells both all of the above, hats and bushings. I was just looking at putting together a Tein SS package.
