Default Is a GT convertible rear sway bar a different size than a coupe?

I ordered a set of GT convertible front and rear sway bars for my 2007 from New Take Off. They sent me the correct front bar (34mm) but the rear was the pony package version (18mm). I'm installing Prothane bushings which is how I noticed the bar was too small. To confirm I checked their website and saw the part number for the bar they advised (6R3Z5A772B) was different from the one they sent me (part # 6R335A771BB). I gave them a call, told them the problem and they shipped me a new bar. It arrived today and when I opened the box it was the same 18mm bar!!!

Is a convertible rear bar smaller than a coupe or did they really make the same mistake twice?

Thanks,
Mark

I believe that it is 2mm smaller or something in that vicinty, also I think its shaped differently.

I know its shaped differently, with different bends, but I didn't think it was smaller.

6R335A771BB is the 'vert bar. It's 18mm and the stock links should be painted white.

Thanks guys. Looks like I'll need to buy the 18mm Prothane bushings.
