Well, I've found a place that has both the green and blue upper strut mounts. The blue ones are UrQ mounts, part number 857 412 323 B and are roughly $30 each. The green ones are for 4Kq 84-87, 4K fwd 80-87, 80/90 fwd 88-95, 80/90q 93-95, coupe quattro 90-91 and cabrio 94-98, and are part number 8A0 412 323 D and are roughly $18 each. So, anybody care to comment on which ones to get? I know the blue ones drop the car by about 1/2" and known to last longer than the stock ones, but I don't know much about the green ones. Anybody had any experience with the greens? I'm trying to decide whether it's worth roughly twice the money for the UrQ mounts. Keep in mind that I have to pay somebody to install these...I'm not capable of DIY on a job like this...

the blue ones drop the car a little, but unless you own the heavy v6, they won't last any shorter or longer. the urq retrofit is for the v6 90, as it helps them alot. just get the green ones, they're good enough for the next 150k miles.

150k miles on a set of strut mounts? Yeah right, mine lasted 15,000!

Well, I now found out that 857 412 323 B comes in both blue AND green. Same mount, different color. So there are TWO different green mounts, 857 412 323 B and 8A0 412 323 D. The one for the UrQ is 857 412 323 B and is 1/4" shorter than the 4000/80/90 mount. If you order 857 412 323 B you may either get blue or green depending on how old the distributors stock is...

150k on mine too.

it will help offset the sagging look, due to the difference in fender height front/rear.
