700 stock front sway bar sizes and interchange 700 1989

I've got an '89 744T. It wallows. I've replaced all the front bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, checked everything. It's healthy, it just has a lot more body roll than I like. The fact that my other daily driver is a very stiff autocrosser probably doesn't help my perception of the amount of body roll I get in the 744T. Anyway, I was at a self-serve j-yard today for something else and checked out an '89 764T. I noticed the front sway bar looked bigger than what I've got on the 744T. I didn't have calipers with me, but with a crescent wrench and comparing it to a 22mm open end wrench, it measured 24-25mm including the undercoating, so I figure it's probably a 23 or 24mm bar. I checked my 744T with calipers when I got home, and it's 21mm front and rear. Am I missing something here? I expected all turbo 700 sedans to have the same diameter front bar, regardless of whether they had IRS or not. Until today I thought 21mm was as large as they came stock. Anybody ever swap this or know definitively what 700 models/years had what diameter front swaybars?
