Do Stock Strut Mount Provide More Compliance Than Fixed Camber Plates?

I was planning to put on some Ireland engineering fixed camber plates as shown below. I was planning to pair them with lowering springs and some koni yellow shocks. I know that using lowering springs will make the ride harsher. My R53 will be used as a daily commuter so I wanted to minimize the harshness. With that being said, will using stock strut mounts provide more ride compliance/comfort than the ireland engineering fixed camber plates?

Thank you!

I think OEM vs those would be roughly the same. The IE plates still use OEM-ish rubber isolation. When you go up to a full pillow ball camber plate, you will lose the OEM isolation, and thus ride a little harder.
