As long as it's a SII, why wouldn't the front 16v fit on an 8v?  The engine
bay's are the same.  The only reason that a 16v stress bar was made was
because the BIG-ASS intake manifold was right in the path of the original
(8v) stress bar, so they moved it--correct?  Therefore a 16v will almost
definitely fit on an 8v, but the opposite is not true unless your 16v 'rocco
now has a G60 engine in it or something TOTALLY RIDICULOUS like that.  ;-)
