Yes. They are interchangable. 16VT have one coil more (about 10mm taller front springs) and are progressive whereas 20VT are a bit shorter and liner - rear are the same. I actually use 16VT springs and dampers on my 20VT+.

Deannn that's really interesting. I was asking after this sort of info in my post in the technical section.

Can you confirm that 16vt front struts/dampers fit the 20vt and what the physical differences are? Thank you.

Yes, 16VT front struts fit 20VT. What the physical differences are if there are any I don't know.

I thought there was a difference in the hub mounting bolt hole spacing between 16 and 20vt?

16v and 20vt are different, yes. 16vt and 20vt are the same.
