[urq] I've got the 'blues' (shock mounts)

IIRC there used to be two different quality shock mounts for FWD and 
quattro cars, but today, the dealer only lists (the blue) P/N 857 412 
323 B for all models, incl. the Sport quattro! I don't have the old ETKA
 around so I can't verify the P/N difference, but I'm pretty sure there 
was in the past (blue vs green?).

So what is the durability/quality of this 'blue' part and wasn't the 'heavy duty' not green of colour? 
I ask because in 2009 I fitted the above P/N (blue) ones and the only lasted 30K km...


What are the alternatives? The originals are dirt cheap (9 euro each) so that's not the issue here.

Thanks guys!
