S4 swaybars on an S5?

I've been on the hunt for a new set of swaybars for my '91 N/A coupe, and found a pretty good deal on a set but they're advertised as for an 86-88. Does anyone know if I should be worried about fitment on my S5? I've searched for my answer, but it's kind of tough to sift through every post that has the word "swaybar" in it, y'know?

TIA!

They'll fit. Maybe the next guy will find my one man thread and get some actual info.

BTW, What's up, mods, with deleting my bump, but not answering my question.

What sway bars were you looking at? The only reason I could think that they were S4 or S5 specific would be if they came with end links. But if they are selling just the sway bars them self’s then you answer would be yes, from 1986-1992 they are the same. Personally I like the Racing Beat sway bars.

Thanks for the info Dana. lol, sorry if I got a little eggy there.
They're Suspension Techniques bars, F&R. Mazdatrix had two different sets for the FC; one for the S4 and one for the S5. I was just hoping that I could fit the S4 ones on my S5.

It's looking like it may work, but I noticed that the S4 front bar is a little thicker(and adjustable), and the pics of the kits look different.

Here's a linky in case you wanna see what I'm talking about. Scroll down to the bottom...ST swaybars:

They won't fit, and are not interchangeable. The Endlinks mount completely different.

And mods will delete any bumps. In fact the admins (and most of the mods) would perfer that there were never ever any bumps. Bumps are just a waste of bandwidth, and lets people think that their questions are more important than other members. Is you question more important than any other question here??? I think not (insert derogitory term here).

And frankly it just shows such immaturity and selfishness to bump a thread as many times as you have in as little time as you have.

Toss in the fact that some people will only reply if the question has not been answered, but wait... you made it look like the question has been answered 3 times already...

Thread closed. questions have been answerd
