Default Best way to get new strut mount bearings?

Car is a 2013 V6.

I have the Maximum Motorsports camber plates and Koni STR.T struts and I reused the stock strut mount bearings. I lost a lot of bearings on one side and now it's popping.

Do I need to buy this to get new bearings?

You just crack it open like the stock one and hope to not lose any bearings this time?

I already have Maximum Motorsports Camber plates.

I just need the Bearing Spring Perch.

See step 18 and 19...

So it looks like $30 for OEM and $55 for GT500. Are the bearings better in the GT500?

Don't know about the bearings themselves, but the GT500 rubber spring perch is a harder durometer

You can buy the ball bearings from a bike shop for like 10 bucks..
