Maybe it's the angle of the picture, but to me it looks like the arms on the front swaybar are out far enough that the tires would hit them when turned all the way. The stock GTI swaybar and most of the aftermarket bars I've seen mount to the rear a-arm mounts or near them, and then the arms travel forward, and then out to where they connect to the lower a-arms.
All Volkswagens and Audis that I've ever seen have lug bolts, except I think the Vanagon or one of the vans.
If the rear is all braced and boxed, I'm surprised there isn't a bar between the front attachment points for the a-arms. I think the 16v Scirocco had one from the factory.
You're really making me miss a Scirocco. But around here they are almost all dissolved to rust. There's a MkII 16v for sale nearby, but I'd want a MkI.
That BaT discussion is funny, all those people debating whether it's a 1.7 or 1.8. It's a 1.8, you can tell from the upper radiator hose. Now whether it came with that from the factory, I can't say.
