Talking Clean up & ready for the road

When I got the car last summer I,ve done the ext-int & engine bay no big deal but I knew the worst was to come ,being very familiar with my 944 & having done the undercariage on it years after years the job was a breeze & mostly fun & in one day will do the complete car but the 968 is a different story,first just to get at the motor underside as everybody knows there is 3 belly pan including the bat wing & so many screws & bolts I lost count not to bad removing them but putting them back is a PITA.So taking my time it took me 3½ days to clean everything including the fender wells ,struts,brakes ect ect, LOL call me nut I'm probably one ,while in there I measure the front Stab Bar (28mm) can anybody tell me if it was the stock size on a 93-968,the adjustable are bilstein with a Porsche Spring # 26875 va-968va just wondering if the PO did order the hole assembly from Porsche .Sending you guys some pics of that PITA job but the good thing that came out of it is that I'm getting to know my car better.

To answer your question. The front standard stabilizer bar size is 26.8mm,
M030 is 30mm. Weltmeister makes a 28mm solid front stabilizer bar which comes with adjustable drop links. Factory stabilizer bars are hollow and are much lighter than their Weltmeister counterparts.

Raj after reading your answer I knew I didn't had the Weltmiester Stab Bar since I,m familiar with them ,so I call a friend over that has a real caliper not something like my homemade one we jack the car & measure it again sure bet the SB is 30mm I was way off ,the PO must have ordered it that way or install it when he chance the stock struts to the bilstein adjustable one, I'm real happy since I had plan to buy a M030 -30mm LOL now I can put that money somwhere else I'm pretty well satisfied with handling & speed on that car but will like a nice set of pedal + footrest & a nice steering wheel something simular to Damian.
G96 I can't link but will try to send larger pics .
