Question What size is the stock front sway bar on US spec S2?

Need to buy a set of bushings for it. Non-M030. Thanks.

That makes more sense to me Jim. Though I don't know the effect of 26.8 being hollow vs. the 25.5 being solid, of course assuming this information (tubular vs. solid) is correct. So it is reversed on the website?

Clarks Garage has a lot of errors on it. This is just one more.

The 25.5 bar is also tubular, its not solid. And yes, it is the stock size for a 944S2. The S2 M030 bar is the same as the Turbo S bar, 26.8mm.

Actually, its not my car as well as every other S2 I have ever worked on has a 26.8mm bar. My car is a cabriolet and no cabriolets had the M030 suspension package.
