with the exception of the SVT tours which were 1mm smaller.

just my 2 cents but the more you stiffen the springs, the less important the bulk of your sway bars will play on the handling [other than front to rear bias]. case in point, I have monsterously stiff springs, with every its bigger/better suspension upgrade. apparently at some point I snapped a sway bar endlinkt... I can confidently say the sway bar has zero effect on handling on my car [I've done this on stock too, ummm ya, it very much effects your handling]
