Only worth doing if the car is lowered. They are about 10mm longer as I recall and don't pop out so easily. I don't think standard ones are a problem unless your car is lowered a lot and/or does a lot of donuts!

I've got XR ones in mine and it cured my problem. A lot of the problem is caused by worn engine mounts though.

But as Jimboxr4x4 says, it's probably a good idea if the car spends a lot of time sideways/doing donuts/arseing about
