Default Sway Bar Diameters

I did a search and cant find the info.
I have a 98 Coupe that had the Front sway, shocks and springs replaced with 04 Z06 parts but the rear sway looks stock. Does any one have a list of sway bar diameters? Even some diamters from the C6 cars to see what the difference is (if any).
Thanks for the help!
Jimbo
