2003 Volvo V70 strut types

Looking on Rockauto. I'm seeing (2) different types of strut replacement. One that is standard and one that has electronic suspension control. Assuming mine is the former because I do not have a button to toggle it inside the car. However, before I get hasty with this, I wanted to check with the experts over here. Car has about 175,000 on it so I assume it would be a good idea to do the mounts also.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Looking into this a little further, I don't think I have electronic control (unless one of you says otherwise).

Rockauto lists two types of struts from Sachs:

-554046 (this is stock replacement from what I can see)
-554041 (heavy duty replacement?)

Same with shocks:

-311753 (stock replacement)
-311752 (HD)

I'm looking to keep this car another 5 years. Will the stock replacement struts and shocks be sufficient?

Curious on your thoughts.

Thanks again.
