I was told the early 99 Z51 bars are both smaller than the ZO6 bars.
That was the case with mine., and I was shown the difference.

The standard FE1 suspension has 23.1mm front and 19.1 mm rear sway bars. The swaybar dimensions of the 97 - 99 Z51 suspension are 25.4 mm diameter in front, 21.7 mm rear. Plastic end links were used all around. For 2000 2001, they were changed to 28.6 mm front, 23.6 rear and steel end links in front only. In 2002, aluminum links were used in all four corners. The Z06 (FE4) uses a hollow 30mm front and the same 23.6 rear with aluminum links all around. Hope this helps. - C.
