The "donuts" that you refer to as "improved" (they have a metal core)
are specific to certain models and should not be used on other models.
Simply get the correct part for your specific car! The proper hangers
should easily last 10+ years unless you do a lot of "off-roading." Some
(but hardly all) aftermarket rubber hangers are of very poor quality and
I've seen some fail within months. That has not happened to ME with
genuine Mercedes hangers (that are correct for the application and model
car).
