What are the sway bar sizes for base coupe?
Just keeping my eye out for a good deal on used sway bars. Not sure what the fr/rr size are for the base model coupe. Anyone know?

Does that mean the base coupe has a 32/19 mm pair of bars?

i lied.....
The V6 models have a 28mm front sway bar and a 15mm rear sway bar. The spring rates are 257 pounds per inch in the front and 114 pounds per inch in the rear.
The regular V8s have a 30mm front sway bar and a 19mm rear sway bar. The springs are 292 pounds per inch up front and 114 pounds per inch in the rear. The 1LE and WS6 suspension package has a 32mm front sway bar and 19mm rear sway bar (note, 1993 and early 1994 1LEs got a 21 mm rear bar). The springs are 360 pounds per inch up front and 130-180 pounds per inch (progressive) in the rear (note, 1993 1LEs got the same springs as regular V8s).

Thanks for the update. So I guess that even a 30/17 set would be an upgrade.
UPDATE: Took a caliper to the front sway bar, and it is 28mm. Doesn't hurt to be sure!

Thanks! Now if someone can provide a 32mm bar, I'm all set.
