I would assume that they are bigger as well as the springs because of all the front end weight the ZR1 has. It will be an interesting addition to your spreadsheet.

:-) Hoping somebody has seen one of these cars up close and personal now and had a chance to throw calipers around the swaybars to get at least the OD...

That thread is... odd. One guy says 33.48mm / 31.29mm. The other guys says 1.5in (38mm).
And I agree diameter isn't everything, but it's something. And I don't think anybody is going to cut these open to find wall thickness. :-)

Been wondering the same thing, I asked gene culley for the info. but he has not replyed as of yet. I would thin the zr1 are stiffer or larger but the car has adjustable suspension so who knows.

Springs and sway bars on ZR1 softer than on Z06; stiffness made up by the shocks. For example when you hit a curb on the track with a Z06 you need to prepare for the jolt, with the ZR1 those wheels just soften up and absorb the jounce keeping the tires firmly planted. Driving a ZR1 on a bumpy street is far smoother than Z06 or even Z51 suspension.
