Default s1 rollbar set question

Hey all what are the differences between the standard mk3 set us and the rs/1600i set up
from what I can see my strut is held in by 1 bolt however the s1 setup has 2 small bolts either side
what are the advantages if this setup and if I'm gonna turbo the standard mk3 do I need to swop these and will the struts need replacing? Cheers

The series one and two both have single bolt strut tops. Pre May 1983 cars have the small bolt either side. It's purely date related and has nothing to do with the model. Ford changed the shell across the range in 83 to address criticism with the handling.

If you've got a single bolt strut top Mk3 the complete series one suspension setup will go straight on.
