Default Will someone with Sport suspension please measure your sway bar thickness?

I'm hoping that the sport suspension has thicker sway bars than the "normal" sway bars. I measured my "normal" bars today, and they were 27mm in the front and 15 mm in the rear. Both measurements were made in the center of the car. The front was done through the oil filter access hole.

Sorry, Gern. I'm getting old and the concrete pillow gets harder each time I get under the car. I'll be doing my own oil changes though and I'll take some measurements if no one else has by then.

Found this posted by Traturn in another post:

Strictly numericaly speaking (Part numbers) the suspensions between the 3 models are not the same.

3 Different front shocks:
RWD, RWD Sport & AWD

5 Different front springs
250, 250Sport, 350, 350Sport & 250AWD

2 Front Sway bars, RWD & AWD (no different FSB for Sport)

Cant tell you any info about spring rates thou, just different part-no. 's & application

hope it helps.

ps; checked rears too... its similar, but there are are 4 different spring/shocks

So the part numbers for front AND rear sway bars are the same for the sport and regular RWD models?
