Default GT Suspension Hardtop vs Convertible

Please excuse my ignorance, this post may not be in the correct forum , but does anyone know the difference between the hardtop suspension and the convertible suspension. I know the sping rate is softer on the convertible, and the shocks have different settings, what i do not know is if the front and rear sway bars are different sizes, and if they are, what the size is.
thanks

Front sway bar is much bigger than the rear. I do not know the exact specs. My car handles like a dream.

Maruader8, thanks for the response, I do know that the front and rear sway bars are different sizes, what i want to know is, are the sway bars on the hardtops larger/smaller or the same as the ones on the Covertible. I autocross my car and i am allowed to change suspension components as long as they are available from the factory. My car handles well also, but no where near as well as my SVT Focus.
