Default Changing out my shocks and struts. Change Mounts?

I am replacing my shocks and struts with koni str. and keeping my stock springs. Should I replace my strut mounts with GT500 mounts or just reuse my stock mounts. My 2005 GT convertible has 15K and is driven on nice sunny days only. Will never be on a race track or road course. Thanks

Get the GT500 mounts or at leasts replace
them with the new and improved pre-TSB GT mounts.
But for the costs involved, GT500 upper strut mount bearings FTW.

Did you mean post-TSB mounts? Are the 2010+ GT mounts different from the GT500 strut mounts?
