Does anyone know the difference between the stock journey and sport sway bars on the 07-08 sedan? (diameter, weight)

I'll probably upgrade the sway bars on my '08 journey sedan after my Goodyear RS-As wear out (will probably do Yokohama S-drive in 225/55/17). I want to know if I should buy new sway bars from Stillen (or others) or if I'll get a better bang for the buck looking for a take-off set from a sport package sedan.

I know the springs are the same on the journey and sport (I have no interest in lowering). The sport models shocks are stiffer in the rear only, right?

Are there any other suspension differences between the journey and sport besides the sway bars, rear shocks, and wider rear wheels/tires? (I wanted a sport but hated the seats)

From my measurements on my 07 sport sedan, the stock front sway bar is 26.5mm and the stock rear is 24.3mm. If you can get the stockers for free or really cheap, they are worth it. But if you have to pay money for sway bars, I would consider Hotchkis.

However, keep in mind most of your body roll will be due to high CG. Lowering the car will most likely make more difference.

The Sport and Journey have the same sway bar. Only the AWD has a different sway bar.
