To clarify:
The stock S2 swaybar sizes are: 27mm front and 16mm rear. They are NOT the M030 swaybar sizes. Rear M030 swaybar is 19mm and 3-way adjustable, not sure of the M030 front swaybar size, but I know it's bigger than 27mm.

I did some research. Non M030 is 26.8mm. I had read that the M030 option used the same front bar, but that's probably incorrect, sorry. One site lists the M030 bar as smaller at 25.5mm but presumably stiffer (thicker tubing?) That is probably correct. The 968 M030 bar is listed as 30mm. That's pretty big.
Thanks for pointing out my error,

I wish I were at home and not work, then I could go out and settle this. Both my 951 and S2 are non-m030 cars, so is my dads 968. Anybody have a micrometer I can borrow?

Jason - you got mail
Mike - I used the cave man system to measure the sway bar when I had to change the bushings. Take adjustable crescent wrench - put it on sway bar and screw it down tight - make sure you are on a round section of sway bar (rotate the wrench around the sway bar) - once you are sure it is closed to the size of the sway bar - wiggle the crescent wrench off and measure the opening with a millimeter rule - Oh yeah and the section of sway bar you are measuring will need to be immaculately clean.
