Default Sway Bar Bushing Size?

Ok let me first point out that I did my research before hand. I have a non Z06, non Z51 2001 c5 corvette. So I bought the 19.1 rear and 23 front bushings. Doesn't fit.

I'm fairly sure it doesn't have the Z51 suspension as it doesn't have drilled rotors and doesn't say it anywhere. And I don't believe the previous owner changed anything out.

I just looked at the window sticker and it says something about a performance handling package for $350.

Would 23.6 for the rear and 28.6 for the front be correct?

Ok, it must be that I do have the Z51 suspension. It had the FE3 option in the glove box.

I guess only in C6 did the Z51 have cross drilled rotors and Z51 badges.
