Hi,

Yes the front sway bar will be specific to the 16V because the cylinder heads are getting in the way.

Regards,

Thanks Zenith, could you elaborate a little, by sway bay do you mean anti roll bar? I swapped my front cross member and everything from my 8v to my 16v due to bushes and was curious.

S2 front cross member is a different shape to the 16v S3.

The 16v one has shapes 'pits' to clear the large timing belt covers.

i am confused, maybe someone fitted a 16v cross member to my yellow ser 2 then as the 16v engine cam belt covers fit and you say that the 8v dont have the pits so a 16v wont fit.
