Default Difference between Stock and Sport sway bars?

For my '98.5, is there a difference between the stock f/r sway bars, and the sway bars that come with the sport package?

Default Yes, here are the details...

...I measure both "stock" and the OEM "sport" sway bars when I did the upgrade (purchased "sport" bars from Clair Parts Express).

All measurements were taken with a set of digital calipers.

<b><i>Front Sway Bar:
</i>&quot;Standard&quot;:</b> 29mm hollow<i><b>
</b></i><b>&quot;Sport&quot;:</b> 29mm solid
<b><i>Rear Sway Bar:
</i>&quot;Standard&quot;:</b> 12.5mm solid<b><i>
</i>&quot;Sport&quot;:</b> 15mm solid
