Solid top mounts daily?

Anyone running solid top mounts on their daily or for plenty of road miles? My standard ones need replacing and I'm pretty set on PMS mounts but wanted to see how people who have used the car on the road a lot have gone on with them.

They’re fine. My RB had a set when I bought it and I switched back to standard. Hardly noticed any difference.

Ive not used solid top mounts on a clio, but use them on other cars. As @Ph1 Tom said ive found them to be more than acceptable for road use and hardly any nvh increase, worth fitting if you want the handling to be on point.

Cheers as above I bought the second hand new set so will get them fitted when I get the shocks done. Don't mind a bit of noise as mentioned the Clio is hardly a refined car anyway. Was more thinking reliability but I've seen you can get the bearing separate if needed anyway.

The bearings and any seals and circlips or retaining rings will all be of the shelf items that you can get much cheaper from a bearing/seal specialist rather than the top mount manufacturer.

You've bought them now, but the only thing I noticed when fitting mine was the handling felt better. I don't remember any downside.
