Ok, I have a dumb question....how do you know the diameter of your front sway bar without measuring it? I would measure it, but my digital caliper batteries are dead (again). Seems like there are 4 different stock sizes:
31/32"
1-1/32"
1-1/16"
1-3/32"

I would have thought that all GTs of the same model year came with the same diameter bar??

I would just measure it. If you really don't want to get batteries for your caliper, take a piece or string or dental floss, wrap it around the sway bar, mark it where it meets up with itself and lay it out on top of or next to a tape measure. May not be as accurate as your caliper but, it will get close enough.

Not to be a jerk but this gives you the circumference. You than need to divide the length of the string or wire by pi to get the diameter.

Haha, thanks. No offense taken. It's been a while, that's for sure. Thanks for the catch.

I borrowed some calipers - it was 26mm or 1-1/32"
