The SDE suspension package (95-96 coupes only and 98-99 R/T's) had a heavier front sway bar, 22mm as opposed to 20mm.

Rear sway bars are 16mm.

2mm is a small difference....however it is a noticable difference
i took my r/t sway bars off and replaced them with huge 7/8" sway bars

damn 7/8 course thats about lets see one inch equals 2.54 cm therefore 2.54cm x 10mm = 25.4mmper inch25.4 / 8 = 3.175mm per 1/8th of an inch so 3.175 x 7 = 22.225mm you went up by .225 mm spud. course i dont know if its in diameter or circumfrence . . . eh whatever i dont know im just going off

the new one looks considderably bigger. let me know how that works out for you, i might be interested in somethign similiar.

either that or front and rear strut tower braces to stiffen things up a bit. what are your thoughts on those spud?

i like the strut bars.....but are nothing compared to larger sway bars...
my r/t has koni struts, mopar high rate springs, prothane suspension bushings, addco 7/8" front and rear sway bars, and front and rear strut bars......so its gonna handle like a brick around corners
