Default they are one of the 2 brands of rs4. there was a batch of the ecs ones that failed
but take that info with a grain of salt because usually people dont post unless something breaks.

Default I don't believe they are.
The genuine Audi mount is made by Avon Rubber in the UK. I've heard that ECS supplies HT Germany mounts which are an exclusive part imported by Eurostar Industries in CT. (Talked to them at SEMA in fact) These aren't a genuine Audi product.

Whether HT Germany is an OEM for Audi, I do not believe, but could be wrong.

Default FWIW, my ECS RS4 passenger side mount is blown, after < 1 year
To be fair, I drop the clutch fairly often.

Default Vast's site lists 1 pair for $210 shipped, but they say something about calling ahead for inventory
This looks like a good price, but I don't know if they are Avon mounts or some other mount and if that even makes a difference.
