05 OEM sway differ from 04/03?

I'm in the market for sways for my 05. I heard people saying 05 sways are bigger and a bit different from 04/03. I looked at both of my cars and it seemed the same. this is only based on bending down to look at them.

I know driving wise... my 05 feels like the rear wants to kick out... while 03 is more understeer. I dunno if its due to the suspension package on 05 or something else.

anyone know if Hotckis sways fit 05?
(ps - 03 stock is lower then 05)

Do you have the sports suspension package on your 2005 coupe? IIRC correctly the sway bars are a bit thicker than the previous years. You wouldn't be able to tell just from a quick glance. Either you would have to put them side by side or use an actual dial caliper for measurment. We're talking a difference of a few mm's. Also the 2005 sport suspension package ont he coupe comes with stiffer rear springs than the previous years. '03-'04: ~340 lbs./in '05: ~420 lbs./in. That's why your '05 feels like you have more oversteer.
