Standard top mounts are made from rubber, and so flex a bit under load. The tein topmounts removes all the rubber and replaces it with a spherical bearing. This will reduce the play on the strut, but will transmit a bit more road 'noise' through the chassis. They also allow for adjustment of the camber and caster settings.

They will work fine with standard struts and lowering springs

I dont see why not. They still fit to the underside of the turret, so where the strut brace mounts will be the same as standard
