does anyone know the actualy width or the RS sway bars? autozone says 19mm, advance auto says 21mm and pep boys shows like 30mm!!!
any ideas? i don't have a caliper, otherwise i'd go measure it.

It changed from year to year. I believe that the rear was always 18 or 20mm but I can't be sure about that. The front went from 20mm to 22mm in 96' iirc.
This information has been discussed in the past.

i figured it was, i tried searching for it but couldn't find anything. i was asking so i could get replacements and do them while i do my shocks and then order the ES ones whenever you found that info for me.
thanks again.

it's not rush. i just don't like body roll that's all. lol. the ones on it are WORN. like i can literally move the bar and it's loose in there. so that's why i wanna change them.

The drawings I made of the SuperPro bushings that were in the kit I had were for a 20mm rear bar and a 22.8mm front bar. I know that I looked at the ES stuff once and the problem I found was that even with an ES bushing of the correct ID the stock clamps are not the right size to hold the bushing. You would have to find a way to secure the ES clamps to the chassis.
