Default Sway Bar Diameter Question

Could someone tell me the diameter of front and rear sway bars for TRD and Intrax/RMM? Are there any other brands for GS400? Thanks in advance.

The TRD and stock sways are the same OUTER diameter, but the TRD ones use much thicker heavier tubing so I guess the INNER diameter is smaller. I've never seen the Intrax ones.

I bought the blue TRD sways (F & R) from Carson Toyota. The stock front sway bar was hollow, the new front TRD is SOLID. Both have the same outside diameter. I reused the same metal clamp that was on the car to hold up the bar. The rear bar is also the same diameter. The stock rear bar is solid and the new rear TRD is hollow! Go figure! I highly reccommend this MOD. That coupled with lowering springs and performance shocks really makes a difference from the stock ride. You get a bit more road noise and bumps, but the enhanced performance far outweighs this.
