I found stress cracks on my front subframe/ engine support so I need to replace it this winter.
I've found several cheap ones for a s2 but I dont know if they are interchangeable. anyone know?

Have you checked those 'cracks' with dye penetrant yet? The reason I say this is many casting marks on both the X-member and bellhousing look exactly like cracks until tested. If they are actual cracks at least that part is easy to source and not very expensive.

Actually when I talked to Dave Lindsey he mentioned there are some crossmembers that aren't set up with the mounting points for the engine mount heat shields. I think you would be ok with the S2 crossmember though.
