Not sure why it matters as size of the swaybar doesn't really tell you much...

But here's the info that was gathered a while back by our SM Expert on Suspension and Vehicle Dynamics: Wiisass

well i dont want to buy a smaller size then wat is stock that would be waste of money if the stock ones are still strong and there are problems. i want to make sure its an upgrade and not just paying more for a name on my metal. Tanabe makes different sizes and one is almost stock i would rather get a bigger one which means stronger. That is science dont need to know cars to know that a thicker bar will bend and flex less.

You do realise that the stock bars are hollow don't you?

Same size solid bar is going to be stiffer.
