Now that is interesting. I have a 200t/5kt front-wheel drive currently 
undergoing a 10-year rebuild plan (tsk tsk). It'd be nice to upgrade the 
front swaybar if possible. Do you perhaps know if the V8 front sway bar 
would be interchangable and what would be needed? That is, would one require 
replacement rubber bushes to hold the thicker swaybar and would it also mean 
that the swaybar to front subframe clamps would also need to be changed?
