Heavy duty suspension top plates?

EVERY camry that I had (I'm at my 5th camry) had problems with top plates.. These things are dying in a short time.. (Maybe because of my driving)

Is there any 'heavy duty' top plates existing ?

Or is there any way to re-inforce the stock top plates ? I was thinking about putting eurethane between the 2 metal plates but I think that the front ones are made to 'turn' and I can't put eurethane in there because of that..

The Gen3 V6 Coupe is supposed to have tougher suspension parts. When I was at the dealer I was looking for bearing plates and strut mounts for that edition. I think the V6 coupe were built in Japan only so they were special order. The cost like every dealer part cost. Way too much. I ended up just going with KYB parts and calling it a day.

I don't think there are any aftermarket options for top mounts.

only place I've ever heard are from the dealer - Even if someone did make them, I doubt they would sell very many.

make some custom ones, maybe I'll buy a set!
