I have searched so please don't shout.

Anybody know as there seems to be a lot of sizes.

Taken from "The Bruce's" build thread.

For everyone interested in anti roll bars I made this table to compare the several stock and aftermarket bars.
Be careful when comparing tube and solid types !!
In general:  aftermarket sway bars are stiffer and they are adjustable front and rear to balance the car.   
They all reduce body roll. Ride comfort is reduced just by a small amount.


Some examples:


model / diameter front ( x thickness) / diameter rear (x thickness)


OEM:


A3 Ambition/S-Line: 22,5 x 3,5 / 20,7 x 2,8 both tube

Golf V GTI: 23,6 x 3,5 / 21,7 x 3,0 both tube

Golf V R32: 22,0 solid / 21,7 x 3,0 tube (4-motion)

Golf VI GTI: 23,6 x 3,5 / 21,7 x 3,0 PR-0BF or 21,7 x 3,6 PR-0BM (DCC?) both tube

Golf VI R: 22,0 solid / 21,7 x 3,6 tube (4-motion)

Scirocco R: 23,6 x 3,5 / 21,7 x 3,6 both tube

Touran 170 HP: 23,0 solid / 21,7 x 3,0 tube

Passat R36: 23,6 solid / 21,7 x 3,6 tube (4-motion)

Sharan 2011: 24.0 mm / 20.0 mm both solid



adjustable sport ARBs:


H&R 'regular': 26 / 22 mm both solid

Eibach AntiRoll: 26 / 23 mm both solid

KW clubsport: 26 / 23 mm both solid

H&R 'big boy': 28 / 24 mm  both solid  (heard that there is a 28 mm rear as well on special order)

H&R 4-motion: 25 / 25 mm both solid

Whiteline: 24 / 24 mm  both solid

Neuspeed: 25 / 25 mm  both solid

APR/Hotchkis: 27 / 27 mm tube (does anybody know thicknesses?)


KW CS are identical to Eibach, just painted yellow instead of dark red.
