I have Ohlins R&T installed with factory top mounts on my C4S.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi,
I had planned to lower/upgrade the suspension on my C4S but not quite so soon...after being advised during its service last week that I need new top mounts I thought I would get it done sooner all in one hit......I haven't 100% decided on which suspension yet still torn.
I like the convenience of the M030...reasonably priced, ARB's inc, and all purchased together ready for a straight swap over. I just don't know if it will give me the stance I'm looking for.
I'm leaning to -25mm RUF springs (H&R look a little too low), coupled up with Bilstien B8 dampers. I've priced up and should come in near the �1200 mark. Someone did throw a curve ball on Rennlist pointing out that PSS10's are on offer at Carnewal for �1600ish, but I don't think I will ever benefit from full coilovers.
My question is do I still buy stock OEM top mounts, or do I need an alternative version if lowering....I noticed Design911 have top mounts specifically for the M030? These are pricey though....a pair of stock top mounts will be less than �100, whereas the M030 jobbies are over �400 notes.
Then I saw these for a pair......

Any advice would be really appreciated👍🏻
Unless the C4S is drastically different from a C2, then, no you don't need special mounts. Stock top mounts worked fine on my B8s with H&R lowering springs, but on a C2.
C4 top mounts for the front are totally different than those for a C2. The only reason I can see for getting something other than the stock ones is if you want additional camber adjustability.
I am currently in the same boat. I just acquired a 2002 C4S with 100k miles and the suspension is BAD! I went ahead and ordered Tarret front camber plates/top mounts to pair with my H&R springs and B8 shocks, and since all bushings were BAD, I got the tie rods (TRW) and forks (EPS) from Amazon and working on sourcing control arms OEM, sway bars, and all drop links. I did not want to spend the money to place Powerflex busings on old parts since my car is my daily. I will attempt to do the suspension swap split in two days.
