front doots and glass. the window switches, but are interchangeable (one has 2 button, one has 4 with win lock [win lock not work on front windows]). front seats are the same on the SVTs. i think the seat belts are different, at least they are between my 2 07s.

The question was about the differences between ZX3 and ZX5 SVTs.

They use the same exhaust systems.

I thought they were longer...

If the seats are black with the red inserts I may be interested in the fronts, depending on if I can rig up some brackets to make them work in a MK3 VW Golf

Nope, they all have the same wheelbase from 2000-2007 regardless of body style and I guess I never heard on the 2008-2009 but I think they actually have the same wheelbase as well.

The only difference for the exhaust systems is from the rear axle back, it's longer on sedans and wagons, of course Duratec systems are a bit different due to muffler shape because of the fuel tank but that's got nothing to do with the SVT question.
